Tobin is solving the equation 3 (x - 1.25) = 11.25. His work is shown below.

3 (x - 1.25) = 11.25

3x - 3.75 = 11.25

3x - 3.75 + 3.75 = 11.25 + 3.75

3x = 15

3x • 3 = 45.3

x = 135

What mistake did Tobin make?

    Instead of dividing by 3, he multiplied by 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x = 15

    Divide both sides by 3

    3x/3 = 15/3

    x = 5
