Debbie solved the linear equation 3(x + 4) - 2 = 16 as follows: 

 

Line 1: 3(x + 4) - 2 = 16

Line 2: 3(x + 4) = 18

Line 3: 3x + 4 = 18

Line 4: 3= 14

Line 5: x = 4⅔

 

Find where she made an error between the lines and then explain why:

a. 1 and 2

b. 2 and 3

c. 3 and 4

d. 4 and 5

Lines two and three because she only distributed the 3 to the x and no to the 4.
