B. subtraction property of equality
C. multiplication property of equality
OD
division property of equality

Answer 1

D. Division Property of Equality

Explanation:

-5x=4 is what we start out with

Then to isolate the x we divide -5x by -5

However because the two sides must remain equal you have to divide the other side by -5 as well

This is the Division Property of Equality which states that if you divide on one side, then you must divide on the other side as well.

Hope this helps you
