B distributing because she didn’t distribute to 12 too

Maya made a mistake in distributing

Option B is correct

Given :

Equation is 2(3x + 6) = 3(x - 10)

Step 1: 6x + 12 = 3(x - 10)

Step 2: 6x + 12 - 3x + 30

Step 3:  3x + 12 - 30

Step 4:  3x - 18

Step 5 : x = 6

Lets solve the equation

[tex]2(3x + 6) = 3(x - 10)\\6x+12=3x-30\\6x-3x=-30-12\\3x=18\\divide by 3\\x=6[/tex]

Maya made a mistake while distributing 3 inside the parenthesis

3(x-10) becomes 3x-30

but Maya entered as 3x+30

So, Maya made a mistake between distributing
