Answer:
3x(x-1)-5(x-1)
=3x²-3x-5x+5 (we can count it one by one)
=3x²-8x+5 (we can calculate the same variable)

hope it helps.
Distributive property was the first property used in STEP 1, where -4 was distributed to -3x+ 2 resulting in the equation in STEP 1. Next in STEP 2, commutative property of addition no matter how 12x and 6x are arranged, when you add them together the result will be the same.
*Take note that 12x and 6x are put together because they are like terms.
For Steps 3 and 4, you will see that the addition property of equality was used in STEP 3. To keep the equation equal, you will add the same number on both sides.
STEP 4 uses Division property of Equality. Like Step 3, to keep both sides of the equation equal, you must divide both sides with the same number. It keeps the statement true by doing so.
STEP 4 and 5 uses transitive property if you examine both as a whole.
Transitive property assumes that if a = b and b = c, then a = c
If 18/18 (a) = 1 (b), and x (c) = 18/18(a) then, x (c) = 1 (b).
