Astudent showed the steps below while solving the equation by graphing. step 1: write a system of equations: step 2: use the change of base formula to rewrite the equations: step 3: graph the two equations: step 4: identify the x-value at the point of intersection: in which step did the student make the first mistake? step 1 step 2 step 3 step 4

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Process of elimination can help us here.

Step one, write a system of equations. This is a given, so this can't be wrong.

Step three, graph the equations. At first, this may seem wrong, but it works because of step four, Identify the x-value at the point of intersection. Neither of these can be wrong.

That leaves us with step two.

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.

the expression is   or  

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
