Louisa states that the solution to the equation 1/4x-3=3/8x+4 is x=56 .she verifies her solution using the steps below.

a: louisa made an error when determining the original solution of x = 56.
b: louisa made an error when substituting the solution in for x.
c: louisa made an error when multiplying 56 by 1/4 and by 3/8.
d: louisa made an error when adding or subtracting.

i put the equation and steps in a the files

m=-16

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
