Explain the mistake in the translation. Then write the correct translation.Negative four times x minus three is the same as six times the difference of x and five.Translation: -4(x - 3) = 6x - 5

What will be an ideal response?


Mistake: multiplied -4 times the difference instead of x on the left side of the equation, and multiplied 6 times x instead of the difference on the right side of the equation
Correct: -4x - 3 = 6(x - 5)
