Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
Hello! Hopefully I will be able to clarify and answer your equation in a way that can help you understand better. Here are the steps...
N + 6/-4 = 10
N + 6 = -40
N = -40 - 6
N= -46
Hope this helped!
Sorry for being late but the answer is B
Find slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(3-4)/(-1-2) = -1/-3 = 1/3
Y = 1/3x + b
4 = 1/3(2) + b
4 = 2/3 + b, b = 10/3
Y = 1/3x + 10/3
