Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made.

−5x − 25 = 78
Step 1: −5x − 25 − 25 = 78 − 25
Step 2: −5x = 53
Step 3: negative five times x over negative five = fifty-three over negative five
Step 4: x = negative fifty-three over five

Step 1: She should have added 25 to each side.
Step 1: She should have divided both sides by −5.
Step 3: She should have divided both sides by −5.
Step 3: She should have multiplied both sides by −5.

Answer:

Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

[tex]\frac{-1}{5} (x-25)=7[/tex]

According to the BODMAS (bracket, of, divide, multiply, add, subtract), to solve for x, we need to first multiply -5 on both sides, we get:

[tex]x-25-7+25[/tex]

→[tex]x-25=-35[/tex]

Now, add 25 on both sides, we get:

[tex]x-25+25=7+25[/tex]

→[tex]x=32[/tex]

Hence, the correct sequence of operations is "Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side".

Hope this helps        :)
