8x-1=9
8x=10

Answer:

There is no mistake in the steps.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The steps of the equation.

To find : The mistake made in the steps to solve the equation below?

Solution :

We solve the equation again step by step.

Step 1 - Equation

[tex]6x-1=-2x+9[/tex]

Step 2 - Take 2x to other side,

[tex]8x-1=9[/tex]

Step 3 - Take 1 to other side,

[tex]8x=10[/tex]

As we have seen that expression are same which means there is no mistake in the steps.

The final solution is [tex]x=\frac{10}{8}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
