Answer:
It is wrong because she should simplify both sides of the equation,distribute, combine like terms,subtract and divide to get the final answer.
4x−2(3x−4)+4=−x+3(x+1)+1
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x−2(3x−4)+4=−x+3(x+1)+1
4x+(−2)(3x)+(−2)(−4)+4=−x+(3)(x)+(3)(1)+1(Distribute)
4x+−6x+8+4=−x+3x+3+1
(4x+−6x)+(8+4)=(−x+3x)+(3+1)(Combine Like Terms)
−2x+12=2x+4
−2x+12=2x+4
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
−2x+12−2x=2x+4−2x
−4x+12=4
Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.
−4x+12−12=4−12
−4x=−8
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x−4=−8−4
x=2
Answer:
x=2
