Answer:
B) There is an error in step 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving 8x+10-6x+4=24, you have to first combine your like terms. These are 8x and -6x (giving you 2x) and 10 and 4 (giving you 14).
After combing your like terms, you now have the equation 2x+14=24.
You need to get x alone and the first step to do that is to subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. This cancels out 14 from the side with x on it and leaves you with 10 on the other side. Your equation is now 2x=10
This is where the student made the mistake. Instead of subtracting 14, they added 14.
The final step would be to divide by 2 on both sides.
At the end of the problem, you are left with x=5.
