Jermaine did this work to solve an equation. did he make an error?

The solution for the below equation is required:

4x + 6 - x = 2x + 3

The work done by the Jermaine is presented below :

4x + 6 - x = 2x + 3

5x + 6 = 2x + 3

Instead of adding 4x with -1x to make it 3x , he added 4x with 1x to make it 5x.

So, the correct option is

Jermaine did make an error. He should have combined 4x and -1x to make 3x

3x + 6 = 2x + 3

Hope it helps..!!

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
