Jackson solved the problem 3x-8=2(2x-7) using the following steps:

STEP 1: Use Distributive Property to get 3x-8=4x-14
STEP 2: Use Addition Property of Equality to get 3x=4x-14+8
STEP 3: Combine Like Terms to get 3x=4x-6
STEP 4: Use Subtraction Property of Equality to get 3x-4x=-6
STEP 5: Combine Like Terms to get (-x)=-6
What is the last step?

Use Property of Equality to get x=(-6)

Divide Both Sides by -1 to get x=6

Divide Both Sides by -1 to get x=(-6)

Use Multiplication Property of Equality to get x=6

1 answer

To complete the solution to the equation \((-x) = -6\) obtained in Step 5, the last step should be:

Divide Both Sides by -1 to get \(x = 6\)

So among the options you provided, the correct last step is:

Divide Both Sides by -1 to get x=6.
