Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify the algebraic rule being misused.
2. Rewrite the expression correctly or state why it cannot be rewritten that way.
3. Include any domain restriction introduced by the original expression.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Corrections that produce a true expression but do not address the named structural error.
