Answer 2

Answer:

addition property of equality

multiplication property of equality

distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use addition property of equality , multiplication property of equality and distributive property.

We will not use reflexive property which is x  = x.

Let me show you an example.

solve the following equation:

2(x - 1) = 8

Use distributive property a(b - c) = a.b - a.c

2x - 2 = 8

Add 2 on both sides. Addition property of equality.

2x -2 + 2 = 8 + 2

2x = 10

Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2, which is 1 over 2, we get

x = 5

Therefore, the answer is " addition property of equality , multiplication property of equality and distributive property."
