Solve: 3(x + 5) = 2x + 35

step 1: 3x + 15 = 2x + 35
step 2: x + 15 = 35
step 3: 5x = 50
step 4: x = 10

which is the first incorrect step in the solution shown above?
a) step 1
b) step 2
c) step 3
d) step 4

offer a clear explanation along with the answer. you!

Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

I will justify each step and provide reasoning

step 1: we distributed, the distaibution is correct

step 2: we minused 2x from both sides, correct

step 3: how did we get from x to 5x
also, 15+35=35, but we need to minus the 15 from both sides, not add

step 3 is the first wrong step
