Division property of equalitytoICHA4. SimplificationOA. The justification for step 2 is incorrect and should be the subtraction property of equality.OB. Step 3 is incorrect and should be r = 100OC. Step 2 is incorrect and should be r = 8.OD. The justification for step 3 is incorrect and should be the multiplication property of equality,

Answer 1

We have

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

`x=(10)/(8)`
`x=(5)/(4)`

As we can see in the image the mistake was in step 3.
