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.

Translate the following sentence into math symbols. Then solve the problem. Show your work and keep the equation balanced.
adell [148]

For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:

"10 less than x is -45"

So:

10 less than x is represented as: x-10

Then, the complete expression is represented as:

x-10 = -45

Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:

x = -45 + 10\\x = -35

Thus, the value of the variable is x = -35

Answer:

x = -35
