Question
Solve all of this
Max solved the equation, 5** 3 = 25x- 2 but made an error. His work is shown below.
%3D
25 -2 = 5*+ 3
(52)x-2 = 5x+3
52x-2 = 5x+ 3
2x- 2 x+3
x = 5
Which shows Max's error and the correction?
A.
Max made an error in line 2. The correct equation is (2 - 5)-2 = 5**3
B.
Max made an error in line 3, The correct equation is 5*- 2 = 5x+ 3.
C. Max made an error in line 3. The correct equation is 52X4 = 5x* 3
D.
Max made an error in line 4. The correct equation is 5(2x - 2) = 5(x+ 3).
