Question

Jordan solved the equation −7x + 25 = 48; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made.

Answer 1

do u have a screenshot of him solving the problem?

Answer 2

He/She wrote \[\frac{ 7*X }{ 7 }=\frac{ 23 }{ 7 }\]
He/She was supposed to write \[\frac{ -7*X }{ -7 }=\frac{ 23 }{ -7 }\]
So his/her answer was \[\frac{ 23 }{ 7 }\]It was supposed to be
\[-\frac{ 23 }{ 7 }\]

Answer 3

Ok so first u gotta get rid of 25 so

-7x + 25 = 48
- 25 - 25= 23

Then do the opposite of multiplying 7x

23
—
7

And since ur gonna get a decimal it stays

23
—
-7
