An equation and the steps to solve it are shown below:
3x 1/2 (8x - 2) = 4

Step 1: 3x - 4x + 1 = 4

Step 2: x + 1 = 4

Step 3: x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1

Step 4: x = 3

Which step was the error made and why? (1 point)

Question 19 options:

1) Step 1, because incorrect signs have been used

2) Step 2, because the terms have been added incorrectly

3) Step 3, because numbers have been added to both sides of the equation

4) No error was made

1 right 2 worng

jack1 · Answer

$\huge 3x + 1/2 (8x - 2) = 4$
is this ur original equation...?

jack1 · Answer

or is it
$\huge 3x  \frac{(8x - 2)}2 = 4$

jack1 · Answer

anyway i think step 1, as incorrecet signs (the -2 changed to a +1)
