Jerome solved the equation 1 3 x + 5 6 = 1 as shown. 1. Subtraction property of equality: 1 3 x + 5 6 − 5 6 = 1 1 − 5 6 2. LCD: 1 3 x = 1 6 − 5 6 3. Multiply by the reciprocal: ( 3 1 ) 1 3 x = −4 6 ( 3 1 ) 4. Solve and simplify: x = −12 6 = −2 Analyze Jerome's steps. In which step did he make an error?
