Question

Chelsea shows her work in finding the solution to 4x−5=2+3(x−3). After checking her answer in the original equation, she found that it did not work. Where did she make a mistake?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4x - 5 = 2 + 3(x - 3)$

$4x - 5 = 2 + 3x - 9$

$4x - 3x = - 7 + 5$

$x = - 2$

hope it helps you
