    B. The result is not correct because Step 2 has an error.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6x+5=3 (2x+1) Distribute on the right side

    6x+5=6x+3

    -6x - 6x Subtract 6x from both sides

    5≠3 There is no solution because 5 doesn't equal 3

    The reason Paloma's result is wrong is because you can't subtract 3 from 5 and set it equal to 0

    Ex: 5-3 = 0 2 = 0
