Describe the error in solving the equation for x.
In the third step, the left side was not divided by −2−2 correctly.
In the third step, the negative sign was not distributed to both terms in parentheses.
The equation is not solved for xx because there is still a term with xx on both sides.
The equation cannot be solved for xx because the terms with xx cancel out on each side.
Correct the error.
x=
