Answer:

Bella made an error in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

-3x-30=5x+18

Rearranging the like terms, we get

⇒-3x-5x=18+30

⇒-8x=48

⇒x=-6

Thus, the correct value of x is -6.

Now, Bella made a mistake in her solution as:

-3x-30=5x+18

⇒−3x − 30 − 3x = 5x + 18 − 3x  (she should add 3x on both sides rather than subtracting)

⇒− 30 = 2x + 18

⇒−30 − 18 = 2x + 18 −18

⇒− 48= 2x

⇒x=-24

For the second,
In the first step, instead of adding 3x for both sides, they subtract 3x instead.

PLEASE HELP!! Will give Brainliest!
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A) 11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4/9 = 3/4

get a common denominator of 36  (4*9 = 36)

x + 4/9 * 4/4 = 3/4 * 9/9

x + 16/36 = 27/36

subtract 16/36 from each side

x + 16/36 - 16/36 = 27/36 -16/36  

x = (27-16)/36

x = 11/ 36
