Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 2/x - 4) + 6% = 9% - 10
Given 2[x - 4) + 6x = 9% - 10
Step 1 - 2x - 8 + 6x = 9x - 10
Step 2 - 2x + 6% - 8 = 9x - 10
Step 3 - 8% - 8 = 9x - 10
Step 4 - 8x - 8% - 8 = 9%-8% - 10
Step 5 - 0-8=x-10
Step 6 = -8=x-10
Step 7 = -8 + 10 = x - 10 + 10
Step 8 = 2 = x + 0
Step 9 = 2 = x
Which step in solving this equation is justified by the Distributive Property?
Step 1 -- 2x - 8 + 6x = 9x-10
Step 2 - 2x + 6x - 8 = 9%-10
o
Step 3 = 8x - 8 = 9x - 10
D)
Step 4 = 8x - 8x - 8 = 9x - 8x - 10
