Question

Gary tried to solve an equation step by step.

e/4 = 2.5
e/4 × 4 = 2.5 × 4 step 1
e = 8 step 2
Find Gary's mistake:

Answer 1

The mistake is in step 2, because 2.5*4 is 10 not 8

Answer 2

e/4 = 2.5

e/ 4 × 4 = 2.5 × 4

e = 10

His mistake was in step 2 since

2.5 × 4 = 10

Hope this helps
