There is an error in Step 1. There is an error in Step 2. There is an error in Step 3. No errors were made. The problem was worked correctly.

Answer 1

The answer is Answer

X=2

Answer 2

3. No errors were made. The problem was worked correctly.

Explanation:

2(10x + 3) − x = 44

Distribute

20x +6 -x =44

Combine like terms

19x +6 = 44

Subtract 6 from each side

19x =38

Divide by 19

19x/19 =38/19

x =2
