Question

An equation is shown below:

Answer 1

The beginning steps to solve the equation 6(3x - 7) = 2 is
Step 1: 18x - 42 = 2
Step 2: 18x = 44

Answer 2

Answer:

(D)  Step 1: $18x-42=2$

     Step 2: $18x=44$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$6(3x-7)=2$

Now, Step 1. Simplifying the above equation, we get

$18x-42=2$

Step 2. Further simplifying the equation by adding 42 on both sides, we get

$18x-42+42=2+42$

=$18x=44$

Thus, from all the option, Option D is correct as it is equivalent to the above steps.
