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.

Option B
3/2x-4=20
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/2x-4=20
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+2x=+20+4
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=+24
We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=12
Answer: y ≥ -2 Interval Notation: [-2, ∞)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
If the domain is x ≥ 0, then plug x=0 into the given equation to find the y ≥ value.
Range: y ≥ 2(0) - 2
y ≥ 0 - 2
y ≥ -2
