Step-by-step explanation:
Here, The work of a student to solve the equation :
The steps for calculating the value of x are :
Step 1: 4(2x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 8
Step 2: 6x − 8 = 16 + 2x
Step 3: 6x − 2x = 16 + 8
Step 4: 4x = 24
Step 5: x = 6
Step 2 is incorrect, as the student instead of multiplying, adds the number as :
4(2x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 8
Here, the correct step is :
8x − 16 = 16 + 2x
6 x = 32
x = 5.33
So, the error is in STEP 2 and the correct option is (b).
