Addition Property of Equality

Given:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
10x - 4x + 2 = 4x − 4x −
- -
Step 5:
6x+2= -4
Step 6:
6x+2-2= −4-2
Step 7:
6x+0= -6
Step 8:
6x = -6
Step 9:
6x (¹)
1x = −1
Step 10:
Step 11: x= -1
4(x - 1) = 10x + 2
10x+2 = 4(x - 1)
10x+2 = 4x − 4

Expert Solution
Step 1

The objective is to determine the property that justifies the work between step 6 and 7.

 

 

 

 

Additive Inverse:

When the sum of two real numbers is zero ,then each real number is said to be the additive inverse of the other.

That is, R+(-R)=0, where R is any real number.
