We have been given the steps to solve the equation as

Step 1: 2x = 18

Step 2: x = 18 − 2

Step 3: x = 16

There is an error in step 2.

We have $2x=18$

x is in multiplication with 2. So in order to get rid of 2 from the left hand side, we perform opposite operation of multiplication i.e. division.

So we must divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, A is the correct option.

A) She did not divide 18 by 2.

1.Which fraction is the ratio expressed in simplest form?

olganol [36]

1. divide each number by 6 and you get 4:3 answer c

2. 1x+4x=45 (the ratios give you how many of each you have)

5x=45 so x=9 that is the smallest number

3. percent means out of 100 so 490/100 4.9

4 percent means out of 100 so .5/100 5/1000 = .005

a game is played with tokens according to the following rule and each round the player with the most tokens gives one token to e

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

47 rounds and Eve wins.

Step-by-step explanation:

If read right, the highest player, (player with the most tokens) has to lose 3 tokens each round, so starting off with Evelyn, 17 - 3 = 14, and the other two each have +1 added to them, so, E=14, A=17 V=16, now subtract three from A (Amelia) and don't forget that one token is always being discarded each round. So the toal number of tokens at the start was 48, (17 + 16 + 15) so right now the total tokens should be 47, which it is. now starting the second round, A gives up 3 tokens so, 17 -3, again equals 14 and each of the two other players get one token, so E=15, A=14 V=17. Now you know the general trend, so we can figure this out seeing that after each round the number of tokens decrease by one, so there will be a round till all tokens are out except one, so there will be 47 rounds and since E started with the highest number they will win.
