Looking at the problem statement, the question is asking for us to determine the justification for the steps that are used to help solve the equation.  We are given the expression x + 17 = 38 to help achieve that goal.

Now that we know what we must do to finish this problem let us look how this equation can be solved.  When the term solve the equation is used it refers to us solving for the unknown, in this case being the variable x.  We can see that we have x + 17 on the left side and in order to solve the equation x must be alone so we would subtract 17 from both sides.

<u>Subtract 17 from both sides</u>

  • x + 17 = 38
  • x + (17 - 17) = (38 - 17)
  • x = (38 - 17)
  • x = 21

Therefore, we know that we must subtract the same number from both sides and this justification is known as the Subtraction Property of Equality.  This basically states that an equal value needs to be subtracted from both sides and it will become a new equation but with the same result.

Answer:

Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x + 17 = 38

Algebraic Properties:

<u>Addition</u>: If a = b, then a + c = b + c

<u>Subtraction</u>: If a = b, then a - c = b - c

<u>Multiplication</u>: If a = b, then ac = bc

<u>Division</u>: If a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

To solve this equation, we know that we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we need to subtract 17 from both sides to isolate x.

This is also known as the subtraction property of equality, which states that when the same thing is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the equation will still be balanced. 

Subtract 17 from both sides:

x + 17 - 17  = 38 - 17

⟹ x = 21

Therefore, the subtraction property of equality is included in the steps used to solve this equation.

Write 11•47 using the distributive property. Then simplify.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Distributive property :

a (b+c) = ab + bc

Try writing 47 = 50-3  or 47 = 40+7.

11 x 47 = 11 x (50-3) = 11 x 50 - 11 x 3 = 550 - 33 =  517

or 

11 x 47 =  11 x (40+7) = 11 x 40 + 11 x 7 = 440 + 77 = 517
