Molly is incorrect. If you multiply by a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, the number will increase. Molly actually has 685 coins.

Molly is incorrect, she has 685 coins in her collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving the number of coins molly has, simply solve the equation (multiply 548 by 5/4) and you should get an answer of 648.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.
