Noah is solving an equation and one of his moves is unacceptable. Here are themoves he made.2(x+6)-4 = 8 + 6x original equation2x + 12-4 = 8 + 6x apply the distributive property2x+8 = 8 + 6x combine like terms2x = 6x subtract 8 from both sides2=6 divide each side by xWhich answer best explains why the "divide each side by x step" is unacceptable?A. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x you get 2x = 6xB. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while in fact the solution is x = 0.C. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x you get 2 = 6x.D. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while in fact the solution is x = 3.
