The addition property of equality justifies this. You could also say that she simply subtracted 7, and then it would be the subtraction property of equality. This is the case because if you add or subtract (or multiply or divide) the same number on both sides of an equation, the equation will still be the same.
Hope it helps!
We know that there are two tickets (which we'll represent with x) and a fee for transporation (which is $20)
So we can set up the equation 20+2x=48
We want to isolate x so we'll subtract 20 from each side, which gives us the equation
2x=28
Then divide each side by 2
Giving us the final answer of
x=14
So each ticket costs $14
