Jessica made her first error in step 2.

What is an expression?

An expression is a combination of some mathematical symbol such that arithmetic operator and variable such that all are constrained and create an equation.

In other meaning, expression is very useful to determine the end or root value of constraint.

For example 3x +5y

The constraint of expression is represented as = or <, >.

Given 1, √(a+4) = 7

step 1 ⇒ square both sides

√(a+4)² = 7²

Step 2 ⇒ simplify

a + 4 = 49 but Jessica wrote 14 instant of 49.

Hence "Jessica made her first error in step 2".
