Hint: Notice the signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i knew it was line 2!

this is really confusing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In the first line you have your equation and throughout the whole process they are just solving for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's line 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can see that the first thing they did is subtract 4x from both sides so if you do it out what should be left?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct it is line 3 but do you know why?

i just realized that they were subtracting and stuff and then the whole process changes in line 3 because they're now solving for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The mistake is not that they are solving for X but that in the transition a number was changed from negative to positive that should not have been to be consistent with the algebra
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry i just didn't know how to explain it.
