An equation is incorrectly solved below. Equation: 2x+3=-4 Step 1: 2x+3-3=-4-3 Step 2: 2x=-1 Step 3: (2x)/(2)=-(1)/(2) Step 4: x=-(1)/(2) What is the first step that shows an A. Step 1 B. Step 2 C. Step 3 D. Step 4

The first step that shows an error in solving the equation is Step 1.<br /><br />In Step 1, the equation $2x+3=-4$ is subtracted by 3 on both sides. However, the correct step should be to subtract 3 from both sides of the equation, which would result in $2x+3-3=-4-3$, simplifying to $2x=-7$.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is A. Step 1.
