Question

leon tried to solve an equation step by step.

\\\frac{1}{2}w - 12 = 18\\

\\\frac{1}{2}w = 30\\ step 1

\\w = 15\\ step 2

Explanation:

Analyze Step 1

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Analyze Step 2

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

Leon made a mistake in Step 2. Instead of multiplying both sides by 2 to solve for \(w\), he divided by 2. The correct solution is \(w = 60\).
