Which table best represents the steps to solve the equation x over 8 - 5 = -1?

StepJustification
Step 1: x over 8 = -1 + 5The same number + 5 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: x over 8 = 4Adding -1 and 5 on the right hand side
Step 3: x = 4 • 8The same number 8 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation
Step 4: x = 32Multiplying 4 and 8 on the right hand side

StepJustification
Step 1: x over 8 = -1 - 5The same number - 5 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: x over 8 = -6Adding -1 and -5 on the right hand side
Step 3: x = -6 • 8The same number 8 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation
Step 4: x = -48Multiplying -6 and 8 on the right hand side

StepJustification
Step 1: x over 8 = -1 + 5The same number - 5 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: x over 8 = 4Adding -1 and 5 on the right hand side
Step 3: x = 4 - 8The same number 8 can be subtracted on both sides of the equation
Step 4: x = -4Subtracting 8 from 4 on the right hand side

StepJustification
Step 1: x over 8 = -1 + 5The same number + 5 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: x over 8 = 4Adding -1 and 5 on the right hand side
Step 3: x = 8 ÷ 4The same number 8 can be divided on both sides of the equation
Step 4: x = 2Subtracting 8 from 4 on the right hand side

This happens to me too Melody. I think rosala has said this has happened to her aswell.

I'm not quite sure what causes this. Maybe someone who is good with computers can help. :)
