Answer:

(D)  Step 1: [tex]18x-42=2[/tex]

     Step 2: [tex]18x=44[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

[tex]6(3x-7)=2[/tex]

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

[tex]18x-42=2[/tex]

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

[tex]18x-42+42=2+42[/tex]

=[tex]18x=44[/tex]

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