A student is attempting to solve a multi-step equation. Sample mathematical work is shown below. Which statement best applies to the sample mathematical work? Given the equation 35x - 10 = 5, I must solve for x. I first divide both sides by 35, which results in the equation x-10=1/7 I then add 10 to both sides, which gives me my final answer of x=71/70 A. The student incorrectly divided both sides by 35. B. The student incorrectly added 10 to both sides. C. The final answer is not reduced or simplified. D. The mathematical work shown is correct.
