Louisa states that the solution to the equation One-fourth x minus 3 = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction x + 4 is x = 56. She verifies her solution using the steps below. Equation: One-fourth x minus 3 = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction x + 4
Step 1: One-fourth (56) minus 3 = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction (56) + 4
Step 2: 14 minus 3 = 21 + 4
Step 3: 11 = 25

Which statement most accurately describes Louisa’s error?
Louisa made an error when determining the original solution of x = 56.
Louisa made an error when substituting the solution in for x.
Louisa made an error when multiplying 56 by One-fourth and by StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction.
