Answer 1

To accurately identify the property that justifies Step 3 when solving an equation, I would need to know the specific equation and the actions taken in Step 3. However, I can provide a brief description of each property for context:

• A. Reflexive Property: States that any quantity is equal to itself (e.g., $a=a$).

• B. Addition Property: States that adding the same value to both sides of an equation maintains equality (e.g., if $a=b$, then $a+c=b+c$).

• C. Substitution Property: Involves replacing a variable or an expression with another equivalent value or expression (e.g., if $a=b$, then $b$ can replace $a$ in any expression).

• D. Multiplication Property: States that multiplying both sides of an equation by the same non-zero value keeps the equation balanced (e.g., if $a=b$, then $ac=bc$ for any $c\ne 0$).

If you can provide details about Step 3 or the equation you're working with, I'd be able to give a clearer answer as to which property justifies that step.
