An equation and the steps to solve it are shown below:
2x - one over four of (12x + 4) = 3
step 1: 2x + 3x + 1 = 3
step 2: 5x + 1 = 3
step 3: 5x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1
step 4: 5x = 2
in which step was the error made and why?
step 1, because incorrect signs have been used
step 2, because the terms have been added incorrectly
step 3, because a number has been subtracted from both sides of the equation
no error was made

In may you used 400 kilowatt-hours of energy for electricity. a. calculate the total electrical energy use in joules. b. calculate your average power use in watts. c. assume that your power supplier generates electricity by burning oil. note that 1 liter of oil releases 12 million joules of energy. how much oil is needed to generate the electricity you use? give your answer in both liters and gallons. a. the total electrical energy use was nothing _ joules. (type an integer or a decimal.) b. the average power use is nothing _ watts. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) c. to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ l is needed. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ gal is needed. (round to two decimal places as needed.)
