Question

Lester was solving an equation but he made a mistake. What is the mistake and what is the correct answer? x + 17 = 22 –22 –22 x = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

subtract 17, not 22, from both sides. 17 – 17 = 0 and 22 – 17 = 5. The answer should be x = 5.

Answer 2

subtract 17, not 22, from both sides. 17 – 17 = 0 and 22 – 17 = 5. The answer should be x = 5.
