Lisa wrote the expression (3 + 6x) – 2(x + 1) + 5. She simplified the expression using the following steps: Step 1: 3(1 + x) – 2(x + 1) + 5 Step 2: 3(x + 1) – 2(x + 1) + 5 Step 3: (x + 1) + 5 Step 4: x + 6 Lisa says that (3 + 6x) – 2(x + 1) + 5 = x + 6. Lisa's statement is incorrect.

In this question, the correct answer is B, and I agree with it, but the answer in Step 4 and step through 2 to 4 doesn't seem right? Am I wrong?

Lisa wrote the expression (3 + 6x) – 2(x + 1) + 5. She simplified the
expression using the following steps:
Step 1: 3(1 + x) – 2(x + 1) + 5
Step 2: 3(x + 1) – 2(x + 1) + 5
Step 3: (x + 1) + 5
Step 4: x + 6
Lisa says that (3 + 6x) – 2(x + 1) + 5 = x + 6. Lisa's statement is incorrect.
In which step did Lisa first make a mistake, and what is a correct expression
for that step?
Step 1; 3(1 + 3x) – 2(x + 1) + 5
® Step 1; 3(1 + 2x) – 2(x + 1) + 5
Step 3;B 5(xх + 1) + 5
O Step 3; 6(x + 1) + 5
