-4(5x - 1) + 16x = 40 

-20 x + 4 +16 x = 40 

-36 x + 4 = 40 

- 4 - 4 

-36 x = 36 

Divide -36 -36 

x = -1

(Q14)

On the third line he thought that -20x and +16x was equal to -36x and it should be equal to -4x

           -2(2w-9) = -38  

            -4w-18   = -38                

                +18 = +18

             

-2 times -9 would be positive 18 not negative 18

A group of 6 students went bowling. Each student rented bowling shoes for $x and spent $8 on snacks. A group of 4 adults also went bowling and paid twice as much to rent bowling shoes as each student. Each adult also spent $9.50 on snacks. If both groups spent the same total amount, what was the cost for each adult to rent bowling shoes?

−8n + 4(1+5n) = −6n −14 

−8n + 4+5n = −6n −14

−3n + 4 = −6n −14

+6n           +6n 

3n + 4 = −14 

       −4   −4


At the beginning of the problem the student made a distribution error. 4(1+5n) is equal to 4 + 20n as opposed to 4 + 5n.
