Question

Celia uses the steps below to solve the equation Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction (negative 8 minus 16 d) + 2 d = 24.

Answer 1

The error in the steps is that In step 1, she should have also distributed -3/8  over –16d, to get 3 + 6 d + 2 d = 24

Simplifying linear equations

Given the following equation as shown below

-3/8(-8-16d)+2d = 24

Step 1 Distribute -3/8 over the expression in parentheses

3 + 6d + 2d = 24

Simply the like terms

3 + 8d = 24

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

8d = 24 - 3

8d = 21

d = 21/8

Hence the error in the steps is that In step 1, she should have also distributed -3/8  over –16d, to get 3 + 6 d + 2 d = 24
