What is the error?

• Adding 1 to both sides

• Distributing the negative sign when multiplying –3(x + 2)

• Subtracting 6 from both sides

• x should equal 5/3

What is the error?

• Adding 5x to each side instead of 5

• Subtracting 7 from both sides

• Dividing -4 by 2 equals 2

• Dividing both sides by 2

6 - (2x - 4) = 8

6 - 2x - 4 = 8

2 - 2x = 8

-2x = 6

x = -3
