Asked by Betsy

Do I have this right? These were very confusing.
16 = 4(x – 8) Given
16 = 4x -32 Distributive Property
16 + 32 = 4x -32 + 32 Addition Property of Equality
48 = 4x + 0 Combine like terms?
48 = 4x Identity Prop of Addition
48/4 = 4x/4 Division Prop of Equal
12 = x1 Division?
12 = 1x Commutative Prop of Multip?
12 = xIdentity Prop of Mult?
