Andrew solved the following inequality, and his work is shown below:

āˆ’4(x + 8) + 25 ≤ āˆ’2 + 1(x āˆ’ 50)
āˆ’4x āˆ’ 32 + 25 ≤ āˆ’2 + 1x āˆ’ 50
āˆ’4x āˆ’ 7 ≤ 1x āˆ’ 52
āˆ’5x ≤ āˆ’45
x ≤ 9

What mistake did Andrew make in solving the inequality?

Select one:
a. He subtracted 1x from both sides when he should have added 4x.
b. When dividing by āˆ’5, he did not change the ≤ to ≄.
c. He added 7 to both sides when he should have added 52.
d. He did not make a mistake
