Jackson solved the problem \( 3 x-8=2(2 x-7) \) using the following steps: STEP 1: Use Distributive Property to get \( 3 x-8=4 x-14 \) STEP 2: Use Addition Property of Equality to get \( 3 x=4 x-14+8 \) STEP 3: Combine Like Terms to get \( 3 x=4 x-6 \) STEP 4: Use Subtraction Property of Equality to get \( 3 x-4 x=-6 \) STEP 5: Combine Like Terms to get \( (-x)=-6 \) What is the last step? A. Use Property of Equality to get \( x=(-6) \) B. Divide both sides by -1 to get \( x=6 \) C. Divide both sides by -1 to get \( x=(-6) \) D. Use Multiplication Property of Equality to get \( x=6 \) D.
