Henry showed all the steps he took to solve the equation. 4 times open paren negative 1 half x plus 7 close paren plus 5 x is equal to 15 Step Simplified Expression 1 negative 2 x plus 28 plus 5 x is equal to 15 2 3 x plus 28 is equal to 15 3 3 x is equal to 15 4 x is equal to 5 Sammy tried to verify the solution by substituting x is equal to 5 back into the original equation. It did not result in a true statement. Which explains why Henry’s solution is incorrect?
