Question

The solution of this equation has an error. Which of the following steps has the error? 18 − (3x + 5) = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1

Because the number in front of the bracket is 1 and it is also affected by the negative sign(-),5 is supposed to be negative not positive because (negative by positive is negative)

And since the first step has an error in it,the remaining steps would also be wrong.
