c) Four times x over four equals four over four; Division Property of Equality
===========================
Given equation and steps to solve it:
4(x + 1) = 8
4x + 4 = 8
4x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4
4x = 4
4x/4 = 4/4 <u>This is the missing step</u>
x = 1
All steps given above including the missing one. As we can see, we divided both sides by 4, so the justification for this step is Division Property of Equality.
