Circle the step the error has occurred. explain why it is an error. given: 2(10 – 13x) = -34x + 60 step 1: distribute 20 – 26x = -34x + 60 step 2: addition property of equality -26x = -34x + 80 step 3: addition property of equality 8x = 80 step 4: division property of equality x = 10

Step 2 has an error

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

2(10 - 13x) = -34x + 60

By distributive property,

20 - 26x = -34x + 60

Now, we need to isolate x on the left side of the equation,

For this we need to eliminate constant term from the left side,

20 will be eliminated by subtracting 20 from both sides ( subtraction property of equality )

I.e. Step 2 has an error,

We need to use subtraction property of equality instead of using addition property of Equality,

Note : The correct steps would be,

Step 2 : 20 - 26x = -34x + 60 ( Subtraction property of equality )

Step 3 : 8x = 40  ( addition property of Equality )

Step 4 :  x = 5  (  Division Property of Equality )

the answer i think is a)
