Answer 1

Answer:

Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-x + 1 = -4$

$-x = -5$

Required

State which property is used

The word that describes the operation is; subtraction property of equality.

This property states that:

if $x = y$ then

$x - a = y - a$

So, for the given  equation:

$-x + 1 = -4$

When the subtraction property of equality is applied

$-x + 1 - 1 = -4 - 1$

$-x = -5$

So:

(a) Subtraction Property of Equality is correct
