Question

Brianna is solving the equation -5 + 6(6x + 6) = 1 + 6x. Her steps are shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: Brianna made a error on step 2. Because it has to be + 31 not + 41 cause it is a -5+36

Part B: x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how it should have been done.

Step 1: -5+6(6x+6)= 1+6x

Step 2: -5+36x= 36=1+6x

Step 3: 36x+31= 1+6x

Step 4: 36x= 6x-30

Step 5: 30x= -30

Step 6: x= -1
