Azure solved this proportion as shown:   1230  =  5x

Step 1: 30x  = (12)(5)

Step 2: 30x  = 60

Step 3: x  = 2

What was Azure's error?
In Step 2, she did not multiply 12 by 5correctly.
In Step 1, she multiplied the numerators together and the denominators together.

In Step 1, she should have multiplied 5 by 12 instead of 12 by 5.

In Step 3, she did not divide each side by the same number.

I copied and pasted the question I'm doing a quiz thingy rn and need help on this one :(
