Answer
What property of equality is displayed in step 3 in the solving of 9m+4−7m=5m+73?

Step 1:

9m+4−7m=5m+73

9m−7m+4=5m+73

Step 2:

2m+4=5m+73

3(2m+4)=(5m+73)3

Step 3:

6m+12=5m+7

6m+12−12=5m+7−12

Step 4:

6m=5m−5

6m−5m=5m−5m−5

To determine which operator can be inserted to make the statement true, we first need to evaluate both sides of the expression.

**Left Side:**

\( 6 - 14 \cdot 28 - 214 \)

Calculating:
1. \( 14 \cdot 28 = 392 \)
2. \( 6 - 392 - 214 = 6 - 392 - 214 \)
3. \( 6 - 392 = -386 \)
4. \( -386 - 214 = -600 \)

So, the left side equals \( -600 \).

**Right Side:**

\( 34 + 4 \cdot 2 - 11 \)

Calculating:
1. \( 4 \cdot 2 = 8 \)
2. \( 34 + 8 - 11 = 34 + 8 = 42 \)
3. \( 42 - 11 = 31 \)

So, the right side equals \( 31 \).

Now we compare the two results:
- Left Side: \( -600 \)
- Right Side: \( 31 \)

Now we can check the operators:

1. **Greater than (>)**: \( -600 > 31 \) (False)
2. **Greater than or equal to (≥)**: \( -600 ≥ 31 \) (False)
3. **Less than (<)**: \( -600 < 31 \) (True)
4. **Equal to (=)**: \( -600 = 31 \) (False)

The only operator that makes the statement true is **< (less than)**.

Thus, the correct response is:

< (less than)

To solve the inequality \( -32.5 - 6b \geq 48.5 \), we'll first isolate \( b \).

1. Start by adding \( 32.5 \) to both sides:
\[
-6b \geq 48.5 + 32.5
\]
\[
-6b \geq 81
\]

2. Next, divide both sides by \(-6\). Remember that when you divide an inequality by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign:
\[
b \leq \frac{81}{-6}
\]
\[
b \leq -13.5
\]

Now that we have the value for \( b \), we can check which of the provided options satisfy this inequality:

- **-13.5:** \( -13.5 \leq -13.5\) (True)
- **-12:** \( -12 \leq -13.5\) (False)
- **-13:** \( -13 \leq -13.5\) (False)
- **-12.5:** \( -12.5 \leq -13.5\) (False)

The only value that satisfies the inequality \( b \leq -13.5 \) is:

**−13.5 (negative 13.5)**.

To find which equation has the solution set \(\{-3\}\), we can substitute \(x = -3\) into each equation and see if the equation holds true.

1. **For \(4x - 8 = -4\)**:
\[
4(-3) - 8 = -4 \\
-12 - 8 = -4 \\
-20 \neq -4 \quad (\text{False})
\]

2. **For \(4x + 8 = -4\)**:
\[
4(-3) + 8 = -4 \\
-12 + 8 = -4 \\
-4 = -4 \quad (\text{True})
\]

3. **For \(4x + 8 = 4\)**:
\[
4(-3) + 8 = 4 \\
-12 + 8 = 4 \\
-4 \neq 4 \quad (\text{False})
\]

4. **For \(4x - 8 = 4\)**:
\[
4(-3) - 8 = 4 \\
-12 - 8 = 4 \\
-20 \neq 4 \quad (\text{False})
\]

After evaluating all equations, we can see that only the second equation, \(4x + 8 = -4\), has the solution \(x = -3\).

Thus, the correct response is:
**4x + 8 = -4 (4 x plus 8 equals negative 4)**.

Let's solve the compound inequality \( -2 \leq 2x + 13 - 4 < 1 \).

First, simplify the middle part of the inequality:

\[
-2 \leq 2x + 9 < 1
\]

Now, we'll break this down into two separate inequalities:

1. **First inequality**:
\[
-2 \leq 2x + 9
\]

Subtract \(9\) from both sides:
\[
-2 - 9 \leq 2x \\
-11 \leq 2x
\]

Now, divide by \(2\):
\[
-\frac{11}{2} \leq x
\]

Which can also be written as:
\[
x \geq -\frac{11}{2}
\]

2. **Second inequality**:
\[
2x + 9 < 1
\]

Subtract \(9\) from both sides:
\[
2x < 1 - 9 \\
2x < -8
\]

Now, divide by \(2\):
\[
x < -4
\]

Now we have two parts of the solution:
1. \( x \geq -\frac{11}{2} \)
2. \( x < -4 \)

The compound inequality can be combined:
\[
-\frac{11}{2} \leq x < -4
\]

Now let's express \(-\frac{11}{2}\) as a decimal:
\[
-\frac{11}{2} = -5.5
\]

Thus, we have:
\[
-5.5 \leq x < -4
\]

Finally, we need to compare this to the response options:

1. **\(\{x: -\frac{3}{2} \leq x < 1\}\)** (False)
2. **\(\{x: 3 \leq x < 7\}\)** (False)
3. **\(\{x: \frac{5}{2} \leq x < 1\}\)** (False)
4. **\(\{x: \frac{5}{2} \leq x < 7\}\)** (False)

None of the provided responses match the solution we derived. It seems that the responses do not include the correct interval.

So, the correct solution set would be:
\[
\{x: -\frac{11}{2} \leq x < -4\}
\]

But since this is not listed among the options, it appears there is no valid response given the original options. Please double-check the responses or provide additional context.

Given the options and since none of them exactly match the solution we derived \( -\frac{11}{2} \leq x < -4 \), I'll choose the option that is the closest based on the typical structure of such problems.

However, from the provided options, I notice none refer to negative values less than -4, but I'll select:

**\(\{x: -\frac{3}{2} \leq x < 1\}\)**

This is not a correct match, but it's the only set provided, and the others definitely don't fit.

In Step 3, the transformation involved is:

\[
6m + 12 - 12 = 5m + 7 - 12
\]

Here, \(12\) is being subtracted from both sides of the equation.

This demonstrates the **Subtraction Property of Equality**, which states that if you subtract the same value from both sides of an equation, the equality is maintained.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**Subtraction Property of Equality**.
