First step is : Distributive property, as -2 is being distributed over x and 1.
Second step: Addition property of order, because we are adding 2 to both sides (or Subtraction: we are subtracting -2 to both sides)
Third step: Subtraction property of order, because we are subtracting 3x to both sides of the inequality.
Fourth step: Division property of order, as we are dividing both sides by -5. (or multiplication property of order: we are multiplying both sides by -1/5
The given is: <span>−2(x+1)≥3x+8 The first step is getting rid of the brackets using the distributive property. The second and third steps is isolating the term containing the x on one side of the inequality using addition or subtraction property of order The last step is getting rid of the coefficient of the x using the multiplication or division property of order.
So, the correct order of choices is: 1- </span>distributive property. 2- addition or subtraction property of order 3- addition or subtraction property of order 4- multiplication or division property of order.<span>
