Answer:

  (a)  Step 2. 9x -12 = 13 +2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says a factor outside parentheses multiplies each term inside parentheses. It is an error to do addition of the factor, or to miss multiplying a term.

In Step 2 of this "solution", the factor of 3 is erroneously <em>added</em> to each coefficent inside parentheses. It should be <em>multiplied</em>.

Correct Step 2: 9x -12 = 13 +2x

__

The rest of the solution should be ...

  Step 3: 9x -2x = 13 +12

  Step 4: 7x = 25

  Step 5: x = 25/7

___

<em>Check</em>

  3(3(25/7) -4) = 8 + 2(25/7) +5

  3((75 -28)/7) = 13 +50/7

  141/7 = 141/7 . . . . . answer checks OK
