An equation is shown below:
6(3x − 7) = 2
which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation?
step 1: 9x − 1 = 2
step 2: 9x = 3
step 1: 9x − 7 = 2
step 2: 9x = 9
step 1: 18x − 7 = 2
step 2: 18x = 9
step 1: 18x − 42 = 2
step 2: 18x = 44

(D)  Step 1:

     Step 2:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

Now, Step 1. Simplifying the above equation, we get

Step 2. Further simplifying the equation by adding 42 on both sides, we get

=

Thus, from all the option, Option D is correct as it is equivalent to the above steps.
