The following steps of solving for the roots of 2x² - 4x -3 = 0 were retrieved from another source
Step 1 2x² - 4x = 3
Step 2 2(x² - 2x) = 3
Step 3 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 3 + 1
Step 4 2(x - 1)² = 4
From this, we can see that on Step 3, Tran made a mistake of adding 1 to 3. As we can see, 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 2x² - 4x + 2. That means, instead of adding 1, it should have been 2.
Therefore, the step that Tran first made an error is Step 3<span>.</span>

The last one, I also need help
Answer:
13 over 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!
I hope I have understood the problem well.
If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:
(x-1) / 5 = 2/3
From this equation you must clear the "x".
First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying
(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3
(X – 1) = (2/3)*5
X – 1 = 10/3
Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding
X = 10/3 + 1
Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,
X = 10/3 + 3/3
X = 13/3
I hope I've been helpful!
