Jesse solved the equation 42x+5) = 8 as shown. 4 + 25 + 5 = 8
22 + 5) = 4
Step 1
22 + 5 = 4
Or
20 - 5 = 4
Step 2
Step 3
21 = -1
Or
2.0 = 9
Step 4

Which statement is true about Jesse's solution?
A Jesse made a mistake in step 1. He should have rewritten the equation as 4 + (2x+5) = 8 and 4 + (2x + 5) = -8.
OB. Jesse made a mistake in step 2. He should have rewritten the equation as 2x+5 = 4 and 2x + 5 = -4.
OC. Jesse made a mistake in step 4. His solutions should be x=-2 or x=18.
OD. Jesse correctly solved the equation.
