Question

Annie tried to solve a problem step by step: 7.5 + k = 10 7.5 + k - 7.5 = 10 - 7.5 step 1 k = 2.5 step 2 Find Annie's mistake: A. Step 1 B. Step 2 C. Annie did not make a mistake

Answer 1

C. Annie did not make a mistake

Explanation:

Substitute 2.5 for k in the equation and see if it is correct

Each time you substitute you should see that Annie answered the equation correctly

Answer 2

(C) Annie did not make a mistake

Explanation:

To isolate the variable k in the equation
`7.5 + k = 10`, we'd have to subtract 7.5 from both sides so we just had k on one side.

This is exactly what Annie did, and therefore, her answer is correct.

Hope this helped!
