Answer:

B. The result is not correct because Step 2 has an error.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+5=3(2x+1)                 Distribute on the right side

6x+5=6x+3

-6x    -6x                        Subtract 6x from both sides

5≠3                                There is no solution because 5 doesn't equal 3

The reason Paloma's result is wrong is because you can't subtract 3 from 5 and set it equal to 0

Ex: 5-3 = 0         2 = 0    

Answer:

No values of x make the equation true.
