Jorge solves the equation 4x - (x + 20) + 6 = 2(3x + 8) using the steps below. Step 1: 4x - x + 2 + 6 = 6x + 16

Step 2: 3x + 8 = 6x + 16

Step 3: 8 - 16 = 6x - 3x

Step 4: -8 = 3x

Step 5: -8/3 = x

Jorge verifies his solution by substituting -8/3 into the original equation for x. He determines that his solution is incorrect. Which best describes Jorge’s error?

A. Jorge distributed incorrectly.

B. Jorge incorrectly combined like terms.
