Max solved the equation, 5x+3 = 25x-2 but made an error His work is shown below: 25x-2 = 5x+3 (52)x-2 5x+3 52x-2 = 5x+3 2x - 2 =x+3 x=5 Which shows Max's error and the correction? A Max made an error in line 2 The correct equation is (2 . 5)x-2 = 5x+3 B Max made an error in line 3 The correct equation Is 5x2-2 = 5x+3 C Max made an error in line 3. The correct equation iS 52x-4 = 5x+3 D Max made an error in line 4. The correct equation is 5(2x 2) = 5(x+3)

Find the error in the calculations below, if there is one: Line (1): 8x - 4 = 2(4x + 1) - 6 Line (2): 8x - 4 = 8x + 1 - 6 Line (3): 8x - 4 = 8x - 5 Line (4): -4 = -5 Line (5): Based on the calculations above, there are no solutions The error occurred from line (1) to line (2). The error occurred from line (2) to line (3). The error occurred from line (3) to line (4). The error is in line (5).
