Answer:

(D)  Step 1: \(18x-42=2\)

     Step 2: \(18x=44\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

\(6(3x-7)=2\)

Now, Step 1. Simplifying the above equation, we get

\(18x-42=2\)

Step 2. Further simplifying the equation by adding 42 on both sides, we get

\(18x-42+42=2+42\)

=\(18x=44\)

Thus, from all the option, Option D is correct as it is equivalent to the above steps.
