PLS HELP! Choose the student who solved the equation correctly. 12a = 6

Maria's work 12a = 6 12a/12 = 6/12 a = 2

Jessi's work 12a = 6 12a/12 = 6/12 a=1/2

Marcus's work 12a = 6 12a/6 = 6/6 a = 1

Trevor's work 12a = 6 12a/6 = 6/6 a = 2

Answer 1

Answer: Jessi’s work is done correctly.

Answer 2

Jessi's work 12a = 6 12a/12 = 6/12 a=1/2

The first step is to get a by itself so 6 must be divided by 12 which leads to the answer 1/2.
