Distributive Property or Division Property of Equality or Associate Property or Given, or Addition Property of Equality

Respuesta :

Answer:

Given; Distributive Property;  Addition Property of Equality; Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line is the equation we are originally given; this makes the reason for the statement "Given."

To get the statement on the second line, both x and 12 have been multiplied by -2.  The property that allows us to do this is the distributive property.

To get the statement on the third line, we must cancel the -2x.  We do this by adding; the property that allows us to do this is the addition property of equality.

To get the last statement, we must divide both sides by -4.  The property that allows us to do this is the division property of equality.
