Question

The work of a student to solve a set of equations is shown:

Equation 1: m = 8 + 2n
Equation 2: 3m = 4 + 4n


Step 1: −3(m) = −3(8 + 2n) [Equation 1 is multiplied by −3.]
3m = 4 + 4n [Equation 2]

Step 2: −3m = −24 − 6n [Equation 1 in Step 1 is simplified.]
3m = 4 + 4n [Equation 2]

Step 3: −3m + 3m = −24 − 6n + 4n [Equations in Step 2 are added.]

Step 4: 0 = −24 − 2n

Step 5: n = −12


In which step did the student first make an error?

A.Step 4
B.Step 3
C.Step 2
D.Step 1
