Jerry claims he found the solution of the equation 3/4x + 5 = 1/2(x - 8). His work is shown below.
3/4x + 5 = 1/2(x - 8)
3/4x + 5 = 1/2x - 4
3/4x + 1/2x + 5 = 1/2x + 1/2x - 4
5/4x + 5 - 5 = -4 - 5
5/4x = -9
x = -36/5

Part A: Identify and correct Jerry’s error.
Part B: Find the solution to the equation. Show how this equation is solved from start to finish.
