Answer:

C) Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\(4x+5< 6x+1\)

We have to find the mistake made by Mia in her solution.

Step 1:\(4x+5<6x+1\)

Reason: Given

Step 2: \(4x-6x+5<+1\)

\(-2x+5<1\)

Reason: Subtraction property of inequality

Step 3: \(-2x <1-5\)

\(-2x<-4\)

Reason: Using subtraction property of inequality

Step 4:\(-x<-2\)

\(x>2\)

Reason: Division property of inequality

Mia did mistake in step 3 .She using addition property instead of subtraction property.

Option C is true.
