Wow! um, well what don't you get about that? =)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Let's try the first question..

OpenStudy (igreen):

2x + 4 = -3x + 14 2x + 4 + 3x = -3x + 14 + 3x What did he do here?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes! Did he do that?

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @GBMK92 5x + 4 -4 = 14 -4 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) What did you do here?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, and you said he added 4, so that's where he was wrong.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just say on the fourth step, Splott added 4 to both sides when he should have divided.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Look at Fizzle's work and see if he did something wrong, if he did tell me what it is, if he didn't tell me he didn't.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Actually, I see something wrong.

OpenStudy (igreen):

2 things actually..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes!

OpenStudy (igreen):

But he actually made two mistakes.. -12 = -5x He has to divide -5 to both sides, but he added it..so you can say he was wrong on Line 5 and Line 6.
