6x-1=-2x+9
8x-1=9
8x=10

Answer 1

Their Are No Mistakes,After The Last Step You Would Divide 8 Into Both Sides To Get X=(The Product Of 8/10)

Answer 2

There is no mistake in the steps.

Explanation:

Given : The steps of the equation.

To find : The mistake made in the steps to solve the equation below?

Solution :

We solve the equation again step by step.

Step 1 - Equation

`6x-1=-2x+9`

Step 2 - Take 2x to other side,

`8x-1=9`

Step 3 - Take 1 to other side,

`8x=10`

As we have seen that expression are same which means there is no mistake in the steps.

The final solution is
`x=(10)/(8)=(5)/(4)`
