Question

Please Help, Thank You.

Viktoriya solved an equation as shown below.

5 (x - 2) - 3 x = 2 (x - 3) - 16
5 x - 10 - 3 x = 2 x - 6 - 16
2 x - 10 = 2 x - 22
-10 = -22

She says that the equation has infinitely many solutions. Which describes Viktoriya’s error?

Viktoriya used the distributive property incorrectly when she found the solution.

Viktoriya should have said that the equation has no solution.

Viktoriya should have continued to solve the equation to find that x = 0.

Viktoriya should have said that the equation has one unique solution.

Answer 1

A,C are incorrect, B,D is left. Pick one!

Answer 2

Maybe B ?

Answer 3

Correct!
