Which is NOT a good reason to perform step 1 in the solution shown?

Step 1 : 8x/8 = 48/8
Step 2 : x = 6

A.)Dividing is the inverse of multiplying.
B.)Divide by 8 because 8 is a factor of 48.
C.)Dividing both sides by 8 keeps the equation balanced.
D.)Dividing 8x by 8 isolates x on one side of the equation.

B.) Divide by 8 because 8 is a factor of 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's true, it's just not a good reason.  Sometimes when we divide both sides of an equation by a number everything works out evenly, sometimes it doesn't, but either way it's a step toward the answer, maybe the last step.

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
