Here are the steps followed to solve the equation \(5 - 3(x + 3) = 11 - 8x\) with the corresponding properties:
- Distributive Property: \(5 - 3(x + 3) = 5 - 3x - 9\)
- Combine Like Terms: \(5 - 3x - 9 = -3x - 4\)
- Addition Property of Equality: \(-3x - 4 = 11 - 8x\) (adding \(8x\) to both sides)
- Combine Like Terms: \(5x - 4 = 11\)
- Addition Property of Equality: \(5x = 15\) (adding \(4\) to both sides)
- Division Property of Equality: \(x = 3\) (dividing both sides by \(5\))
So the responses for each step are:
- Distributive Property
- Combine Like Terms
- Addition Property of Equality
- Combine Like Terms
- Addition Property of Equality
- Division Property of Equality
