When using the most efficient method to solve the following problem, what step is preformed first? Enter 1 for Distributive Property or 2 for Subtraction Property of Equality.

2(x + 3) = 5x - 2
__

1 answer

To solve the equation \(2(x + 3) = 5x - 2\) using the most efficient method, we should first apply the Distributive Property to simplify the left side of the equation.

So, the answer is:

1 for Distributive Property.
