Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for x, she had to first subtract 6 on both sides of the equation. Then divide by 5 on both sides of he equation. After the division part, she was able to successfully isolate x.

The equation she had to solve was (C) 5x+6=21

First step: Subtracting 6 on both sides of equation resulted in

5x = 15

Second step: Dividing both sides of the equation by 5 resulted in

x = 3
