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
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.

Step-by-step explanation:
The order is not important.
For example:
Selecting John, Laura, Mary and Tre'Davious is the same as selecting Laura, John, Mary and Tre'Davious.
So we use the combinations formula to solve this problem.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
(a) the selection is random
There are 12 people, and 4 are selected. So
(b) exactly two selections are women?
There are 7 men and 5 women. We want to select 2 men and 2 women. So
