Skyler solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below: Step 1: 12 + x = 36
Step 2: x = 36 + 12
Step 3: x = 24

Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Skyler's solution?

Scenario: a rectangular plot of ground is 5 meters longer than it is wide. its area is 20,000 square meters. question: what equation will you find the dimensions? note: let w represent the width. options: w(w+5)=20,000 w^2=20,000+5 (w(w+5))/2=20,000 w+2(w+5)=20,000
