Answer:

B) Step 2

Explanation:

Gary's mistake occurs in Step 2. He was right to multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to find e, but his error is in the multiplication of 2.5*4. 2.5*4 = 10, not 8.

Answer:

Step 2

Explanation:

In step 1, Gary had the right idea of multiplying both sides by 4 to eliminate the denominator, but in step 2, Gary makes a mistake since e should equal 10 not 8. 2.5 * 4 = 10 not 8
