Latte solved an equation. Here are the steps.

9y + 2 = 4 + 11y - 8

Step 1: 9y + 2 = 11y -4

Step 2: -2y + 2 = -4

Step 3: -2y = -2

Step 4: y = 1

What step do you see the mistake in?

Find the Error
What error did the student make when solving the equation:
5x + 6 =  66
5x - 6 = 66 -6
5x = 60
5*5x= 60*5
x = 300

• The student subtracted 6 from both sides instead of adding

• Student multiplied by 5 instead of dividing by 5

• Student got the wrong answer when subtracting 66-6

• The student did not correctly eliminate the variable from one side of the equation

Find the Error
What error did the student make when solving the equation:
1/5x + 6 = 3/5x + 5
1x + 6 = 3x + 5
-2x + 6 = 5
-2x = -1
x = 1/2

• The student found an incorrect common denominator

• The student did not multiply all terms by the common denominator

• The student did not use opposite operations appropriately

• The student did not correctly eliminate the variable from one side of the equation
