Q. Tyler tried to solve an equation step by step.\newline3(x+4)=183x+12=18 Step 13x=30 Step 2x=10 Step 3 \begin{array}{l} 3(x+4)=-18 \\ 3 x+12=-18 \quad \text { Step } 1 \\ 3 x=-30 \quad \text { Step } 2 \\ x=-10 \quad \text { Step } 3 \\ \end{array} \newlineFind Tyler's mistake.\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Step 11\newline(B) Step 22\newline(C) Step3 \operatorname{Step} 3 \newline(D) Tyler did not make a mistake.
  1. Distribute 33 across parentheses: Tyler starts with the equation 3(x+4)=183(x + 4) = -18. To solve for xx, he first distributes the 33 across the parentheses in Step 11, resulting in 3x+12=183x + 12 = -18.
  2. Subtract 1212 from both sides: In Step 22, Tyler subtracts 1212 from both sides to isolate the term with xx, which gives 3x=303x = -30.
  3. Divide both sides by 33: Finally, in Step 33, Tyler divides both sides by 33 to solve for xx, resulting in x=10x = -10.
