    1. (3x-2) / 4+1=5

    2. (3x-2) / 4+1-1=5-1

    3. (3x-2) / 4=4

    4. (3x-2) / 4+2=4+2

    5. this is the mistake, wecan't just add them because the fractions aren't the same

    (3x-2) / 4 plus 2/1, the bottom numbers areen't the same

    what should be done is go back to step 4 and mltiply both sides by 4, don't add 2

    results in

    5. 3x-2=16

    6. 3x=18

    7. x=6
