Question

Help pls. Mai and Noah also solved the equation, but some of their steps have errors. Find the incorrect step in each solution and explain why it is incorrect.

Answer 1

Answer:

3x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

14x - 2x + 3 = 3(5x +9)

12x +3 = 15x + 27

Mai was subtracted 5x instead of multiplying the 3 by the 5x and the 9.

3x = 24

-im pretty sure I did my math right but correct me if I'm wrong

Noah added the 15x to the 12x I think he was supposed to subtract the 12x from the 15x then minus the 3 from the 27 which they both got right.
