A student provided the steps for solving an equation. Which statement describes the error in the solution?
In step 2, the Distributive Property was applied
incorrectly.
Equation: 8-4 – 3(4-5)
Solution: 16-a = 6(4-5a)
16-a = 24-50
In step 3, the Addition Property of Equality was
applied incorrectly
16+40=24
(step 1)
(step 2)
(step 3)
(step 4)
(step 5)
4a8
In step 5, the Multiplication Property of Equality was
applied incorrectly
a = 2
In step 1 the Multiplication Property of Equality was
applied incorrectly
