Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>

Answer:

As you can see, Taylor failed to add 1 to her equation. This ruins the whole first step. She also used 72 instead of 73 for the answer. Taylor is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fraction is

10/x=2

The unknown from the fraction is x

We need to find the value of the unknown
