In the first step of the solution to the equation \(4(x - 6) = 5\), the property used is the distributive property. This property allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses, which is used to expand the left side of the equation to \(4x - 24 = 5\).
Which property is used in the first step to solve this equation?
4 (x minus 6) = 5. 4 x minus 24 = 5. 4 x = 29. x = StartFraction 29 Over 4 EndFraction
