Question

Which property explains how we get the equation shown in step 2? Given: -5(x -4) - 20 = -15 Step 1: -5x + 20 -20 = -15 (Distributive) Step 2: -5x = -15 (__________________) Step 3: x = 3 (Multiplicative Inverse)

Answer 1

Step 2: Inverse Property of Addition
any number added to its opposite will equal zero
in this case + 20 - 20 = 0

answer
