Which line shows the first error in the solution? a number divided by 3 is four more than -11. what is the number? x/ + 4 = -11 (1) x/3 + 4 -4 = -11 -4 (2) x/3 = -15 (3) x/3 x 3 = -15 x 3 (4) x = -45 (5) a. line b. line 3 c. line 4 d. line 2

The first line.

If we let x represent "a number", then "a number divided by 3" is x/3. The denominator is missing on the first line.

Further, this "is 4 more than -11", so is = 4 + (-11). The constant 4 is on the wrong side of the equal sign in line 1.

The solution should be ...

... x/3 = 4 + (-11)

... x = 3·(-7)

... x = -21

___

Check

-21 divided by 3 is -7. That is 4 more than -11.
