Mai:

She subtracted 5x instead of distributing. This is incorrect, because since it is in ( ), it has to be multiplied by 3.

Correct: 3(5x + 9) = 15x + 27

12x + 3 = 15x + 27

Noah:

Added 15x instead of subtracting. This is incorrect, because to combine like terms on each side you would add a negative number and subtract a positive number.

Correct: 12x + 3 = 15x + 27

12x - 15x = 27 - 3

-3x = 24

x = 24 / -3

x = -8

Answer:

$- \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The only thing important in this question in the original equation is the slope, which is 3, the multiplyer for x. To find the opposite slope follow the steps below.

The first step is to make the original slope into a fraction.

$\frac{3}{1}$

Then flip the numerator and denominator.

$\frac{1}{3}$

Now multiply this value by -1.

$\frac{1}{3} \times ( - 1) = - \frac{1}{3}$

There is the opposite slope of 3.
