The work of a student to solve the equation 2(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 4 is shown below:

step 1: 2(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 4
step 2: 5x − 6 = 12 + 2x
step 3: 5x − 2x = 12 + 6
step 4: 3x = 18
step 5: x = 6

in which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

step 2; 6x − 6 = 2(6 + x + 2)

step 2; 6x − 8 = 12 + 2x

step 3; 5x − 2x = 12 − 6

step 3; 5x + 2x = 12 + 6

The edge of a cube was found to be 30 cm with a possible error in measurement of 0.4 cm. use differentials to estimate the maximum possible error, relative error, and percentage error in computing the volume of the cube and the surface area of the cube. (round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) the volume of the cube maximum possible error cm3 relative error percentage error % (b) the surface area of the cube maximum possible error cm2 relative error percentage error %
