• Subtraction Property of Equality

Answer 1

The property of equality that justifies the step from \(32 - 5 = 10\) to \(32 - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5\) is the Addition Property of Equality. This property states that if you add the same value to both sides of an equation, the equality remains true. In this case, 5 is added to both sides.
