The error is in the second step they subtracted 3 from both sides but it was a 3x, which you can not do.
Correction.
9x+18+3x=1
12x+18=1
12x=-17
x=-17/12
Answer:
c. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.
3(b+4) -2(2b+3) = -4 . . . . given
3b +12 -4b -6 = -4 . . . . . parentheses eliminated
-b +6 = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
-b = -10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
b = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1

The rules of equality require that any operation you perform on one side of the equal sign must also be done on the other side. So when we say "subtract 6", we assume you know that means "subtract 6 from both sides of the equation", for example.
Answer:
Each stuydent must raise $15.61 to reach their goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Their goal is 483.62, but they already have 218.25 so we subtract,
483.62 - 218.25 = 265.37
Since there are 17 students and they raise the same amount we need to divide by the amount of students to find out how much money each of them need to raise to add up to their goal.
265.37/17 = $15.61
I'm not sure sry maybe you should of studied
