Lin solved the equation 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17) incorrectly. Find the errors in her solution. What should her answer have been? Lin's solution: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17) 8(x−3)+7=2x(13) 8x−24+7=26x 8x−17=26x −17=34x −1/2=x

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct solution is solved below

8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

Open or Expand the Parentheses

8x - 24 + 7 = 2x(-13)

8x -17 = -26x

We collect like terms

8x + 26x = 17

34x = 17

x = 17/34

x = 1/2

The correct solution = x = 1/2
