Question

8 - 2x = 5(x - 2) which step is not part of solving the problem?

Answer 1

C. 8 - 2x = 5x - 2         is the anwser

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

$8 - 2x = 5(x - 2)$

Multiply 5 inside the parenthesis

$8 - 2x = 5x - 10$

Now we add 2x on both sides

$8=7x-10$

Add 10 on both sides

$18=7x$

Divide both sides by 7

x= 18/7

8 - 2x = 5x - 2 is not in the steps

Option C is the answer
