To solve the equation \(2(x + 3) = 5x - 2\) using the most efficient method, the first step would be to apply the Distributive Property to expand the left side of the equation.
Thus, the answer is:
1 for Distributive Property.
When using the most efficient method to solve the following problem, what step is performed first? Enter 1 for Distributive Property or 2 for Subtraction Property of Equality.
2(x + 3) = 5x − 2
