Q. Sharon tried to solve an equation step by step.9=−3(e−2)9=−3e+6 Step 115=3e Step 2 5=e Step 3 Find Sharon's mistake.Choose 1 answer:(A) Step 1(B) Step 2(C) Step3(D) Sharon did not make a mistake.
Distribute −3 to both terms: Sharon starts with the equation 9=−3(e−2). She distributes −3 to both e and −2, which should result in −3e+6.Calculation: −3×e+(−3)×(−2)=−3e+6Math error check:
Add 9 to both sides: Sharon then adds 9 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with e.Calculation: 9=−3e+6 becomes 9−6=−3e, which simplifies to 3=−3e.Math error check:
