Question

Sherry uses the steps below to solve the equation x + (negative 8) = 3 x + 6.

Step 1 Add 1 negative x-tile to both sides and create zero pairs
Step 2 Add 8 positive unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs.
Step 3 Divide the 14 unit tiles evenly among the 2 x-tiles.
Step 4 The solution is x = 7

What is Sherry’s error?
In step 1, she should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides.
In step 2, she should have added 6 negative unit tiles to both sides.
In step 3, she did not divide the tiles evenly.
In step 4, she should have found the solution x = negative 1.

Answer 1

pleasw help me

Answer 2

ok im sorry my grammer isint the best

Answer 3

Ight ima do this the right way

Answer 4

Step one:

\[x + (-8) + (-x)= 3x + 6 + (-x)\]
\[- 8 = 2x +6\]

Answer 5

Step Two:

\[-8 + 8= 2x + 6 + 8\]

\[0= 2x+ 14 \]

Answer 6

Step Three:

\[0 + (-14) = 2x + 14 + (-14)\]

\[-14=2x\]

Answer 7

Step Four:

\[\frac{ -14 }{ 2 }= -7\]

Answer 8

Step Five:

\[x=(-blank)\]
