Answer:
option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerry solved this equation:
[tex]3(x-\frac{1}{4})=\frac{13}{6}[/tex]
In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis
1. [tex]3x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}[/tex]
In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides
2. [tex]3x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
In step 3, we take LCD 12
3. [tex]3x=\frac{26}{12}+\frac{9}{12}[/tex]
In step 4, add the fractions
4. [tex]3x=\frac{35}{12}[/tex]
Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.
[tex]\frac{3}{1}x=\frac{35}{12}[/tex]
In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.
Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1
[tex]\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{1}x=\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{35}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{35}{36}[/tex]
In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3
