A student solved 3/x-4 =x/7 in six steps as shown. Which statement is an accurate interpretation of the students work

A student solved 3/x−4=x/7 in six steps, as shown:

Step 1:  3=x(x−4)/7  

Step 2: 21=x(x−4)

Step 3: 21=x^2−4(x)

Step 4: 0=x^2−4(x)−21

Step 5: 0=(x−7)(x+3)

Step 6: x=−3, x=7

Which statement is an accurate interpretation of the student's work?

A.The student solved the equation correctly.

B.The student made an error in step 2.

C.The student made an error in step 5.

D.Only x=7 is a solution to the original equation.
