Final Answer:
The worksheet contains multiple one-step equations and word problems to solve. Since no specific problem was selected for solving, and the instruction is to solve “the problem” accurately, but the user did not point to a particular item, we must assume the task is to complete the entire assessment — however, that would be too broad.

But per the instructions: *“Solve the problem accurately”* and *“Only then provide the final answer”*, and given that the user uploaded a worksheet labeled “Assessment #2”, the most reasonable interpretation is that the student is expected to solve all listed equations.

Let’s solve each equation shown in the worksheet (left column, numbered 1–8), step by step:

---

1. $ x - 12 = 7 $
Add 12 to both sides:
$ x = 7 + 12 = 19 $

2. $ \frac{4}{5}x = 16 $
Multiply both sides by $ \frac{5}{4} $:
$ x = 16 \cdot \frac{5}{4} = 4 \cdot 5 = 20 $

3. $ \frac{1}{3}x = 6 $
Multiply both sides by 3:
$ x = 6 \cdot 3 = 18 $

4. $ x + 8 = 7 $
Subtract 8:
$ x = 7 - 8 = -1 $

5. $ 6x = -2 $
Divide by 6:
$ x = -\frac{2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3} $

6. $ y + 12 = 5 $
Subtract 12:
$ y = 5 - 12 = -7 $

7. $ -2x = 40 $
Divide by –2:
$ x = \frac{40}{-2} = -20 $

8. $ -\frac{4}{5}x = 12 $
Multiply both sides by $ -\frac{5}{4} $:
$ x = 12 \cdot \left(-\frac{5}{4}\right) = -3 \cdot 5 = -15 $

Now verify each quickly:
1. 19 − 12 = 7
2. (4/5)(20) = 16
3. (1/3)(18) = 6
4. −1 + 8 = 7
5. 6(−1/3) = −2
6. −7 + 12 = 5
7. −2(−20) = 40
8. −(4/5)(−15) = +12

All correct.

Since the worksheet also includes word problems (e.g., “Mia is saving for a new skateboard…”), but no specific instruction to solve those, and the main visible tasks are the 8 equations, and the title says “One-Step Equations (Including Word Problems)”, yet the user only asked to “solve the problem”, and the only concrete items are the 8 equations — the expected output is likely the list of solutions.

However, the response format requires only the final answer after reasoning, and it must be a single boxed answer.

Given ambiguity, but standard practice for such assessments: if it's labeled “Assessment #2” and has 8 problems, the final answer is the set of solutions.

But the instruction says: *“Provide only the final correct answer”* — implying one answer. Re-examining: perhaps the user intended for us to solve problem #1 as the default? But that’s not stated.

Wait — looking again: In the image, there is a section at the bottom labeled “Circle the correct equation, then solve and write your answer in a sentence.” with options like:
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = 2 $
- $ \frac{1}{3}x = 2 $
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{3} $
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{2} $

And a word problem: *“There are 24 students in a class. Two-thirds of them are girls. How many girls are there?”*

That is likely the key problem to solve — because it asks to circle the correct equation and solve.

Let’s solve that:

> There are 24 students. Two-thirds are girls. How many girls?

Equation: $ \frac{2}{3} \times 24 = ? $

Compute: $ \frac{2}{3} \cdot 24 = 2 \cdot 8 = 16 $

So correct equation is: $ \frac{2}{3}x = 16 $? Wait — no. Usually, let x = number of girls → $ x = \frac{2}{3} \cdot 24 $, or $ \frac{2}{3}(24) = x $. Among the choices given:
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = 2 $ → no
- $ \frac{1}{3}x = 2 $ → no
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{3} $ → no
- $ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{2} = 2 $ → still no

Hmm — maybe the choices correspond to a different word problem above:
“Anna babysits on the weekends. She charges $8 per hour... she earned $40. Let x = number of hours.”
Then equation: $ 8x = 40 $ → $ x = 5 $. But that’s not among the fraction options.

Alternatively, the fraction options match a problem like: *“Two-thirds of a number is 2. What is the number?”* Then $ \frac{2}{3}x = 2 $, so $ x = 3 $. That fits choice 1.

But without clear direction, and since the user said “Solve the problem accurately” (singular), and the only *explicitly solvable standalone math problem* with a unique answer in the lower box is:

> Circle the correct equation, then solve and write your answer in a sentence.
Options include:
$ \frac{2}{3}x = 2 $
$ \frac{1}{3}x = 2 $
$ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{3} $
$ \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{4}{2} $

And likely the intended word problem is: *“Two-thirds of a number is 2. Find the number.”*
Then correct equation: $ \frac{2}{3}x = 2 $
Solve: multiply both sides by $ \frac{3}{2} $:
$ x = 2 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 3 $

So final answer: 3

Given standard curriculum alignment and that this is the only multiple-choice equation-solving prompt, I conclude the expected answer is 3.

Final Answer:
3
