QuestionIdentify the error in the following steps:
14x - 3(3x - 3) = 4x + 2 leads to x = 11.
A. Sign error in distribution. B. Addition error in combining terms. C. Addition error when isolating x.

Studdy Solution
Comparing this with the second line of the original work, we can see that a sign error was made when the distributive property was applied. The left side of the second line should be 14x9x+914x -9x +9 instead of 14x9x914x -9x -9. So, the correct answer is option A.
