    The answer is B.

    A and C make sense because we need to isolate x to solve the equation. To isolate x, we have to do the opposite of multiplication as choice A says.

    D makes sense because whatever we do to one side of the equation, we also need to do to the other side.

    So B is the only choice that isn't a good reason.
