It’s D! How do y’all not know that
The correct answer choice is
21 friends.
44 - 2x = 2, where x is the number of friends Kristin has.
Subtract 2 on each side.
42 - 2x = 0
Add 2x on each side.
42 = 2x
Divide by 2 on each side.
42 / 2 = x
21 = x
Kristin has 21 friends.

C= two step equations require all number to be whole number in order to solve.
Here is an example that disproves that:
.5x + 8= 18
<u> -8 -8</u>
<u>.5</u>x = <u>10
</u>.5 .5
x = 20 (.5 is certainly not a whole number but I solved it anyway)
