Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. (5 points)

−5x − 25 = 78
Step 1: −5x − 25 − 25 = 78 − 25
Step 2: −5x = 53
Step 3:negative five times x over negative five = fifty-three over negative five
Step 4: x = negative fifty-three over five

a
Step 1: She should have added 25 to each side.

b
Step 1: She should have divided both sides by −5.

c
Step 3: She should have divided both sides by −5.

Answer 2

Answer:

error is step 1

because..

-5x-25=78

-5x=78+25

-5x=53

x=53/-5

x=-10.6

therefor error is step 1

but answer is also right but her steps are wrong......

Ihope my answer is right
