Question

Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:

5(x - 3) =
7x
2


Step 1 ⇒ 10(x - 3) = 7x
Step 2 ⇒ 10x - 30 = 7x
Step 3 ⇒ 3x - 30 = 0
Step 4 ⇒ 3x = 30
Step 5 ⇒ x = 10

Identify the property of equality which yields Step 1.

A) Division Property
B) Addition Property
C) Subtraction Property
D) Multiplication Property

Answer 1

Well, technically it's the distributive property, but since that's not on here, and technically it's multiplying so. Multiplying property.
