It means that when both sides of an equation have the same number subtracted from them the remaining expressions are equal. ( ......Hope that I helped you...... )

The subtraction property of equality means that
a=b and c=d then a-c=b-d or
a=b and c=c, then a-c=b-c
basically when 2 things are equal, and you subtract the same value from both sides, the equation remains equal

or
a+c=b=c simlifies to a=b where you can simlify the same thing from both sides and retain the equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$f(x) = 2x^{-3}, x > 1\\~~~~~~~= 0, x \leq 1$

a) probability density function.

$\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{\infty}f(x) dx = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{-\infty}2x^{-3}dx = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{1}2x^{-3}dx\\\\\Rightarrow \big[-x^{-2}\big]^{\infty}_1\\\\\Rightarrow -(0-1) = 1$
