Answer:

She made a mistake in Step 7.

Explanation:

Step 1 through 6 are correct. Only from Step 6 to Step 7 the problem comes in: both sides of the equation are multiplied by x, however the x on the left side, by error, becomes 1. The correct state in Step 7 should look like this:


x((1)/(2)P-x)=256
