15. Solve the equation for x: 2x+b=c
Check this process:
Step 1: 2x+b−b=c−b
Step 2: 2x=c−b
Step 3: 2x−2=c−b−2
Step 4: x=c/2−b−2
Check all of the choices that are true statements.

In step 2, you correctly simplified the equation to 2x = c - b. However, in step 3, instead of subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, you subtracted 2 only from the right side. The correct step should be:
Step 3: 2x - 2 = c - b - 2.
So, the correct statement would be:
The process has an error from step 2 to step 3.
