Identify the property used in the first four steps to solve the equation 4(x-7)=2x-6

x = 11

distributive law

additive law

multiplication property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question an equation

4(x-7) = 2x-6

Distributive law

a(b+c) = ab +ac

4x - 4(7) = 2x - 6

4x -28 = 2x - 6

Use the addition property of equality to reduce the 2x on the right.

4x - 2x - 28 = 2x - 2x -6

4x -2x -28 = -6

Use the addition property of equality to reduce -28 to zero on the left.

4x - 2x- 28 + 28 = -6 + 28

2x = 22

Use the multiplication property of equality to reduce 2x to just x

2x2 = 22/22

x = 22/2

x = 11
