Question

Lin solved the equation 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17) incorrectly. Find the errors in her solution. What should her answer have been? Lin's solution: 8(x−3)+78(x−3)+78x−24+78x−17-17-12=2x(4−17)=2x(13)=26x=26x=34x=x

Answer 1

The answer is "
`\bold{(1)/(2)}`"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

`\to \bold{8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)}`

solve:

`\to 8x-24+7=8x-34x\\\\\to 8x-17=8x-34x\\\\\to -17=-34x\\\\\to 34x= 17\\\\\to x=(17)/(34)\\\\\to x= (1)/(2)`
