  1. Student D:
    Error: Did not change the right hand side of the equation from + to - when he changed the left hand side from - to + and did not divide 2z by p.

  3. Student D:
    He/She did not divide the 2z by the p and also did not change the addition and subtraction symbols properly.

  7. Student "I" has left the "ans)" there and did not find the solution for z-2z which should be -z.

  8. Student C:
    Did not change the right hand side of the equation from multiplication to division. So in stead of 2z/p it became 2zp.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Student N- The 2z should be a fraction with the p instead, 2z the numerator while p the denominator .

    ReplyDelete
  10. Student C did not divide the equation by p and he did not change the signs for both sides of the equation.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Student C did not make the 2z divide by p

    ReplyDelete
  12. Student N - The 2z should actually be the fraction with p.

    ReplyDelete
  13. student D did not make the 2z divided by p, but multiplied it instead

    ReplyDelete
  14. Only Student F got it correct, Student D is close but he/she did not divide p. Student J is correct except the fact that the subject is on the right side. The rest got the question wrong because they did not inverse the answer.

  15. Student G :

    Did not change + to - when changing sides for 2z

    pz is supposed to be a + not a -

    ReplyDelete
  16. Student C:
    Arithmetic error, when he transferred it over the equals sign, he forgot to change it to a divide sign.
    Distributive error, did not distribute the - to the z

    ReplyDelete
  17. Student P has put way too many spaces. the Majority of the mistakes made by students is due to wrong conversions. They forgot about the - and + sometimes leading it to be confusing.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Student G - Arithmetic error and did not bracket the numerator, confusion if [2z-(zp/p)] OR [(2z-zp)/p]

    ReplyDelete
  19. Student D:
    Did not divide the p

    ReplyDelete
  20. Student N
    It is supposed to be 2Z as the numerator of the fraction where P is the denominator and not the other way around with Z being the numerator.
