Answer:

Angela's mistake is in step 1, she failed to change the sign when subtracting from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation given :

The correct solution should be :

3/4 - 3/4 + m = 5/4 - 3/4

m = 2/ 4

m = 1/2

Therefore failure to change the sign will result in a obtaining a wrong answer for the exercise.
