Answer:

Step 6

Explanation:

From the given proof, consider Step 5 given below:


m_T=((b-a)-b)/(c)

By simplifying this step, we get the following results:


m_T=(b-a-b)/(c)=(b-b-a)/(c)=-(a)/(c)

However, in the statement of Step 6, the result is given as a/c.

Thus, Step 6 of the proof contains an error.
