The mistake is in step 3:
I: −2m =−12 − 2n
II: 2m = 8 + 8n
the student set both right sides of the equations equal (−12 − 2n = 8 + 8n), but the left sides aren't equal: first equation has -2m, second has +2m so the signs of one of the equations must be inverted first
Answer:
The answer is D) 6 1/4 to win a bet
Their total expenses are ...
.. $1.50 +3.00 +1.25 = $5.75
Their profit is the difference between their charge and their cost:
.. $25.00 -5.75 = $19.25

B) $19.25
Answer:
First one is wrong. x should be 16.
Second one is not completely visible, so cannot say.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the last step, the divison by 4 yields:
x/16 = 1, so x = 16
and
. So we have a remainder of

and
. Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder

and
. Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new one of

and we're done since 2 does not divide
. So we have
