Austin worked out the problem to the left and got an answer of x=7

Question

Lisa thinks he made a mistake and the answer should be x=1


Who is correct or are they both wrong? Why?

Answer 1

To determine who is correct regarding the value of \( x \), we need to evaluate the problem they are working on. However, since the specific problem is not provided in your message, I can't definitively say whether Austin or Lisa is correct.

To resolve their disagreement, you would need to:

1. Review the problem statement that Austin worked on.
2. Verify Austin's calculations to see if \( x = 7 \) is indeed a correct solution.
3. Check if Lisa's assertion of \( x = 1 \) is also valid or if either or both of them made a mistake.

If you can provide the specific equation or problem they are working on, I can help you analyze it and determine who (if either) is correct.
