Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 2(x βˆ’ 4) + 6x = 9x βˆ’ 10 Given β‡’ 2(x βˆ’ 4) + 6x = 9x βˆ’ 10
Step 1 β‡’ 2x βˆ’ 8 + 6x = 9x βˆ’ 10
Step 2 β‡’ 2x + 6x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 10
Step 3 β‡’ 8x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 10
Step 4 β‡’ 8x βˆ’ 8x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 8x βˆ’ 10
Step 5 β‡’ 0 βˆ’ 8 = x βˆ’ 10
Step 6 β‡’ βˆ’8 = x βˆ’ 10
Step 7 β‡’ βˆ’8 + 10 = x βˆ’ 10 + 10
Step 8 β‡’ 2 = x + 0
Step 9 β‡’ 2 = x
Which step in solving this equation is justified by the Distributive Property?
A) Step 1 β‡’ 2x βˆ’ 8 + 6x = 9x βˆ’ 10
B) Step 2 β‡’ 2x + 6x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 10
C) Step 3 β‡’ 8x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 10
D) Step 4 β‡’ 8x βˆ’ 8x βˆ’ 8 = 9x βˆ’ 8x βˆ’ 10
