Which step is incorrect and what is the correct answer?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step 4, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 4 was wrong, instead of 6x = 6, it should be 6x = 18. They shoudl've added 6 to both sides instead of subtracting 6 as ur trying to cancel out the 6 on the left side of the equation. So:

6x = 18

x = 3
