Which of the following is not a step in solving 5x – 2(3x + 5) = 32? a. –x = 42 b. –1x = 42 c. –x + 10 = 32 d. 5x – 6x – 10 = 32

In order to figure this our we need to solve the problem: 
5x – 2(3x + 5) = 32

Start by distributing the 2: 


Now we have: 
(Option D is seen here) 

Combine like terms: 


Now we have: 
(Option C is seen here) 

Add 10 to both sides: 
tex]-x-10+10=32+10 [/tex]

Now we have :
(This is seen in both option A and B)

You've made a mistake in typing your options. All of the options you've given are involved.
