Colton solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below: step 1: x − 13 = 26 step 2: x = 26 − 13 step 3: x = 39 which statement best explains why step 2 is incorrect in colton’s solution? he did not subtract 13 from 26. he did not multiply 26 by 13. he did not add 13 to 26. he did not divide 26 by 13.

He did not add 13 to 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Step 1: x − 13 = 26  

           Step 2: x = 26 − 13  

           Step 3: x = 39

To Find: Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Colton’s solution?

Solution:

Correct steps

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

So, this concludes that He did not add 13 to 26 in step 2

So, Option C is correct.

Hence He did not add 13 to 26.
