Question

Colton solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

He did not add 13 to 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Step 1: x − 13 = 26  

           Step 2: x = 26 − 13  

           Step 3: x = 39

To Find: Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Colton’s solution?

Solution:

Correct steps

Step 1:$x- 13 = 26$

Step 2:$x = 26+13$

Step 3:$x = 39$

So, this concludes that He did not add 13 to 26 in step 2

So, Option C is correct.

Hence He did not add 13 to 26.
