Please help A mistake was made in the steps shown to simplify the expression. Which step includes the mistake?

Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
step 5 is wrong
because 2 + 10/2
[tex]2+\dfrac{10}{2}=\dfrac{4}{2}+\dfrac{10}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}[/tex]
is different from (2+10)/2
[tex]\dfrac{2+10}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}[/tex]
as there is no parentheses you have the follow the correct priorities
division first, do 10/2=5 and then the addition 5 + 2 = 7
hope this helps
Answer:
Step 5 is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
You dont have to solve this to figure it out.
Remember the Order of Operations:
1. Parenthesis
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication & Division
4. Addition & subtraction
You can see that in step 5, they added instead of divided.
It should have gone from 2 + 10 / 2 -----> 2+ 5. And then its a different final solution as well.
Hope this helps! If not, comment on it and let me know about my error. Have a great day!!
