Equations With Variables On Both Sides

Answer 1

The work of a student trying to solve the equation 2(2x − 3) = 6 + 2x + 4 is shown below:

Step 1: 2(2x − 3) = 6 + 2x + 4
Step 2: 4x − 3 = 10 + 2x
Step 3: 4x − 2x = 10 + 3
Step 4: 2x = 13
Step 5: x = 6.5

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

Step 2: 4x − 6 = 10 + 2x
Step 2: 4x − 3 = 2 + 2x
Step 3: 4x + 2x = 10 + 3
Step 3: 4x − 2x = 10 - 3

Answer 2

Ill make a guess ;-;

Answer 3

can you see the error in step 2?

Answer 4

o.o i thought it was step 2 xD

Answer 5

i think ;-;

Answer 6

its step 2

Answer 7

4x + 3 is not correct - can you see why?

Answer 8

* sorry 4x - 3 is not correct

Answer 9

he distributed the 2 over the 2x - 3 and multiplied 2*2x = 4x that was correct. Then the mistake happened.
