Karen solve an equation incorrectly as shown below. Given: 4(x + 1) - 3(x -2) = 11 Step 1: 4x + 4 - 3x + 6 = 11 Step 2: 4x - 3x + 4 + 6 = 11 Step 3: x + 10 = 11 Step 4: x + 10 + 10 = 11 + 10 Answer: x = 21

• From given to step 1

• From step 1 to step 2

• From step 2 to step 3

• From step 3 to step 4

Jared solved the equation shown below. Given: 5(x + 1) - 3(x -2) = 13 Step 1: 5x + 5 - 3x + 6 = 13 Step 2: 5x - 3x + 5 + 6 = 13 Step 3: 2x + 11 = 13 Step 4: 2x + 11 - 11 = 13 - 11 Step 5: 2x = 2 Answer: x = 1 Which properties did he apply from step 1 to step 2?

• Associative pro

• Distributive property

• Subtraction property

• Commutative property
