Anna and belle are asked to solve −2x − 15 = 6x + 9. identify where one of them made an error. anna belle −2x − 15 = 6x + 9 −2x − 15 −6x = 6x + 9 −6x −8x − 15 = 9 −8x − 15 + 15 = 9 + 15 −8x = 24 negative 8x over negative 8 equals 24 over negative 8 x = −3 −2x − 15 = 6x + 9 −2x − 15 + 2x = 6x + 9 + 2x −15 = 8x + 9 −15 + 9 = 8x + 9 + 9 −6 = 8x negative 6x over 8 equals 8x over 8 negative two-thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

The steps Anna did are

If you look carefuly, you would notice that Anna didn't make any mistakes, her steps and result is correct.

Belle steps are

Notice that this step is wrong, because she's not adding -9 to eliminate that term.

, this step is also wrong, because 9 + 9 = 18.

Therefore, Belle is wrong.

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )

“a term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a + sign or j sign. in , the terms are 5x , 3y and 8. when a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.” i hope this you.
