Sariah was combining liked terms. she combined all of them for her solution. explain the error. 13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x 18x + 17x - 4.5+ x 35x - 4.5 + x 30,5x + x 31.5x plz

try this. the error is that sariah was combining a constant (4.5) with a variable with a coefficient, thus getting an inaccurate answer.

this is also assuming that you meant to put an equal sign before the 4.5 + x 35 x

to solve this problem, the strategy used is just to solve it yourself and find the correct answer by combining like terms.

hope this !
