In what step is there first an error. explain the error and how to correctly work the problem.
given: 2(10-13x)+9x=-34x+60
step 1: 17x=-34x+40
step 2: 17x=-34x+40
step 3: 51x = 40
step 4: x=40/51
(this is a lot of points be thorough)

2(10-13x) +9x = -34x +60

Distributive property:

20 -26x +9x = -34x +60

Simplify:

20 -17x = -34x +60

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-17x = -34x -40

The error is in step 1, the 17x should be -17x

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !
