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
m=−5

In step 3 of the equation \(6m + 12 = 5m + 7\), the operation performed is the subtraction of 12 from both sides of the equation. This demonstrates the Subtraction Property of Equality, which states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.
Therefore, the correct response is:
Subtraction Property of Equality
