Answer:
2. simplifying multiplication property of equality
3. x - 2 = 8
5. x = 10 , addition property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
- The equation is 
- The value of x is 10
- We want to a statement reason to each step to complete the proof
* <em>Lets write each step with statement reason</em>
1.
⇒ Given
2.
⇒ simplifying multiplication property of equality
3. x - 2 = 8 ⇒ Simplifying
4. x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2
5. x = 10 ⇒ addition property of equality
- In step 2 we multiply both sides by 4 to cancel the denominator of
the left hand side <u><em>(simplifying multiplication property of equality)</em></u>
- Then we simplify the two sides to get <u><em>(x - 2 = 8)</em></u>
- Then we add two to both sides to cancel -2 in the left hand side
- Then after adding we find <u><em>(x = 10)</em></u> , <u><em>(addition property of equality)</em></u>
* The answer is:
2. simplifying multiplication property of equality
3. x - 2 = 8
5. x = 10 , addition property of equality
