The student's error is that they have not correctly solved the equation. The correct answer is x = 403. To solve the equation, we need to add 28 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x. This gives us 375 + 28 = x. Then, we can solve for x by subtracting 28 from both sides of the equation, which gives us x = 403.
Ok up to "This gives us 375 + 28 = x"
Then the first part of the next sentence is nonsense
but x = 403 is the correct answer
