c. the addition property of equality

d. the subtraction property of equality

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "If x = 3, then x^2 = 3x" was formed by multiplying x = 3 by x on both sides. Thus x = 3 becomes x*x=3*x. This simplifies to x^2 = 3x. This property is the multiplication property of equality.
