Question

Lily solved the equation 3x − 10 = -3x + 8. The explanation of her process is shown. Select the text that shows an error in her process or justification of steps, if one exists. 1. I used the addition property of equality to achieve 6x − 10 = 8. 2. I used the addition property of equality to achieve 6x = 18. 3. I used the subtraction property of equality to achieve the solution of x = 3. There is no error in Lily’s process or justification of steps.

Answer 1

Answer: 3x - 10 = -3x + 8 Add 3x to both sides 6x - 10 = 8 Add 10 to both sides 6x = 18 Divide both sides by 6x = 3
