Suzie solved the equation 9x−5=14(16x+60) using the following steps:

Question

1) Distribute 1/4 to get 9x−5=4x+60


2) Use subtraction property of equality to move 4x to get 5x−5=60


3) Use addition property of equality to move 5 and get 5x=65


4) Use division property of equality to get x=13


Determine if Suzie solved correctly - if not, identify which step was the mistake.

Suzie made a mistake on Step 2 - she should have used the addition property instead

Suzie made a mistake on Step 4 - she divided incorrectly

Suzie made a mistake on Step 1 - she should have distributed the 1/4 to 60 as well

Suzie solved the problem correctly
