The steps to solve the equation 7(x + 3) = 9x - 4x − 35 are listed below. Put the justifications for the steps in the correct order to correspond with the steps.
7(x + 3) = 9x - 4x + 37
Step 1: 7x + 21 = 9x - 4x + 37
Step 2: 7x+ 21 - 21 = 9x - 4x +37 - 21
Step 3: 7x = 5x +16
Step 4: 7x - 5x = 5x - 5x +16
Step 5: 2x = 16
Step 6: 2x ÷ 2 = 16 ÷ 2
Step 7: x = 54
