1. The Addition property of equality states that, if:
[tex]a=b[/tex]
Then:
[tex]a+c=b+c[/tex]
2. The Subtraction property of equality states that, if:
[tex]a=b[/tex]
Then:
[tex]a-c=b-c[/tex]
3. According to the Division property of equality, if:
[tex]a=b[/tex]
Then:
[tex]\frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}[/tex]
4. According to the Multiplication property of equality, if:
[tex]a=b[/tex]
Then:
[tex]a\cdot c=b\cdot c[/tex]
In this case, you have the following equation:
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}(6x+10)=13[/tex]
You can identify in the picture that in Step 1, each term inside the parentheses was multiplied by the fraction, then the Distributive property was applied:
[tex]-3x-5=13[/tex]
In Step 2
