The work of a student trying to solve the equation 4(2x − 1) = 11 + 3x + 5 is shown below: Step 1: 4(2x − 1) = 11 + 3x + 5
Step 2: 8x − 4 = 16 + 3x
Step 3: 8x + 3x = 16 − 4
Step 4: 11x = 24
Step 5: x = 2.18

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

Step 2: 8x − 1 = 16 + 3x
Step 2: 8x − 8 = 6 + 3x
Step 3: 8x − 3x = 16 + 4
Step 3: 8x + 3x = 16 − 8

step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

answer is step 3: 8x-3x=16+4

when your bringing over a plus you make it a minus

same with the minus bring it over its plus now

also with times and divide

time turns to divide

divide turns to times

step-by-step explanation:

you dont know math

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
