Question

HELP with one algebra problem!! MEDAL AND FAN :)

Answer 1

Max was solving the equation below and isn’t sure if his answer is correct. Explain to Max how he can check his answer and then help him identify any errors he made. Provide the correct solution in your explanation.

Answer 2

to check his answer, max must put the value of x in \[3x+6/8=7x-1/6\]
By doing that, on one side there will be 9/8 and on the other side of the equation it will be one....so clearly max is wrong

Answer 3

\(4\times(7x-1)=28x-4\)

Answer 4

not \(28x-1\)

Answer 5

In thefourth step of the solution max made the mistake...he multiplied 4 with (7x-1) and he wrote 28x-1 instead of 28x-4....
