PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST, 15 points

Whereis the step where the error has occurred. Explain why it is an error.
Given: 2(10−13)=−34X+60
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: 20−26x+9x = −34x+60
Step 2: 20-17x=-34x+60
Step 3: -17x=-34x+40
Step 4: -17x=14
Step 5: x=-14/17

Answer 1

step: 3 and 4

In step 3 you were suppose to add 34 to both sides to cancel it out which should have given you positive 17x=40


Im kinda confused if the problem is 2(10-13)=-34x+60 were did you get 9x and 26x on the left side
