A student is attempting to isolate the variable t in the literal equation below. Which statement best applies to the sample mathematical work shown?
Given: 2t + s – 4 = 8 – s
Step 1: I first add 4 to both sides, resulting in 2t + s = 12 – s.
Step 2: I then subtract s from both sides, resulting in 2t = 12 – 2s.
Step 3: I then divide both sides by 2, giving a final answer of t = 6 – s.

s= 8-t / 2
The student failed to divide both sides by s properly in step 2 
hope this helps
