Let's break down the steps taken to solve the equation \(5 - 3(x + 3) = 11 - 8x\) and match them with the appropriate properties you listed.

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ 5 - 3(x + 3) = 11 - 8x \]

    • Property: None applied yet.
  2. Apply the Distributive Property: \[ 5 - 3x - 9 = 11 - 8x \]

    • Matched Property: Distributive Property
  3. Combine Like Terms: \[ -3x - 4 = 11 - 8x \]

    • Matched Property: Combine Like Terms
  4. Add \(8x\) to both sides (using the Addition Property): \[ 5x - 4 = 11 \]

    • Matched Property: Addition Property of Equalities
  5. Add \(4\) to both sides (using the Addition Property): \[ 5x = 15 \]

    • Matched Property: Addition Property of Equalities
  6. Divide both sides by \(5\): \[ x = 3 \]

    • Matched Property: Division Property of Equalities

Here’s the summarized allocation of each step with properties:

  1. \(5 - 3(x + 3) = 11 - 8x\) - No property applied.
  2. \(5 - 3x - 9 = 11 - 8x\) - Distributive Property
  3. \(-3x - 4 = 11 - 8x\) - Combine Like Terms
  4. \(5x - 4 = 11\) - Addition Property of Equalities
  5. \(5x = 15\) - Addition Property of Equalities
  6. \(x = 3\) - Division Property of Equalities

No additional properties were needed for steps 1, and at step 4, both the addition to isolate terms and combining like terms were utilized.
