Jessica’s friend tried to find the side length of a square garden, but made a mistake:
24 x + StartFraction 12 over 13 EndFraction = 4 (6 x + StartFraction 12 over 13 EndFraction) = Side length = 6 x + StartFraction 12 over 13 EndFraction
Can you identify and correct her error?

Jessica forgot to factor from both terms. She should have divided 12/13 by 4 to find that the correct side length, which is 6x + 3/13.

Jessica forgot to factor both terms inside the parentheses.  She need to divide the fraction by 4.

The correct side length is 6x + 3/13.

We have to determine, the side length of a square garden, but made a mistake:

According to the question,

Jessica's friend find side length of square garden,

[tex]24x\ + \ \dfrac{12}{13}\ =\ 4 \ (6x\ +\ \dfrac{12}{13} \ )[/tex]

The side length of a square garden,

[tex]= 6x + \dfrac{12}{13}[/tex]

To find the error in the solution of her friend given in the following steps,

[tex]= 24x\ + \ \dfrac{12}{13}\ \\\\ = 4 (6x + \dfrac{3}{13}) \\\\Divide \ by \ 4 \ the \ sides\\\\= 6x + \dfrac{3}{13}[/tex]

She forget to divide by 4.

Hence, Jessica forgot to factor both terms inside the parentheses.  She need to divide the fraction by 4.

The correct side length is 6x + 3/13.
