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 given solving process, the operation performed is subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:
\[ 6m + 12 - 12 = 5m + 7 - 12 \]
This shows that you are maintaining equality by subtracting the same value (12) from both sides of the equation. Therefore, the property of equality displayed in Step 3 is the Subtraction Property of Equality.
