Select the step in the solution that FIRST shows an error.

Step 1: 4x – 10 = 10
Step 2: 4x = 20
Step 3: 4x = 5
Step 4: X = 1.25

Step 3 is where it goes wrong first. Step two, you divide both sides of the equation by 4 so 4x/4= just X so it should end at step 3 with just x=5 and don’t continue because then you’re dividing twice.
