By the process of elimination, it is already not the last 2, so it is 50/50 chance to get it correct, but if you know how to add, you can figure out that 1 million per year in 5 years means that it is 12 million + 5 million, which is equal to 17 million and not 14,500,000. This brings it down only to 500,000$ salary increase per year
Three variable terms appear in this expression. Although 9xy has two variables, they combine to make one term.

Distributive property was the first property used in STEP 1, where -4 was distributed to -3x+ 2 resulting in the equation in STEP 1. Next in STEP 2, commutative property of addition no matter how 12x and 6x are arranged, when you add them together the result will be the same.
*Take note that 12x and 6x are put together because they are like terms.
For Steps 3 and 4, you will see that the addition property of equality was used in STEP 3. To keep the equation equal, you will add the same number on both sides.
STEP 4 uses Division property of Equality. Like Step 3, to keep both sides of the equation equal, you must divide both sides with the same number. It keeps the statement true by doing so.
STEP 4 and 5 uses transitive property if you examine both as a whole.
Transitive property assumes that if a = b and b = c, then a = c
If 18/18 (a) = 1 (b), and x (c) = 18/18(a) then, x (c) = 1 (b).
