An equation and the steps to solve it are shown below: step 1: 4x – 5x – 2 = 4 step 2: x – 2 = 4 step 3: x – 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 step 4: x = 6 in which step was the error made and why?

The error comes between steps 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we combine the like terms of 4x and -5x, then we get a -x. The problem above shows a positive x, which is incorrect.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

w'x is 0.

hope it
