**Title: Understanding Flowchart Proofs in Algebra**

**Question:** What reasoning should be given for part A of the flowchart proof?

**Flowchart:**

- **Given:** \(5(4 + 2x) - (8x - 12) = 10\)

- **Step A:** \(20 + 10x - 8x + 12 = 10\)

- **Step B:** Result leading from Step A

- **Step C:** 
  - \(x = -11\)
  - Use of the Division Property of Equality

- **Next:** \(2x = -22\) connects back from Step B

**Answer Options:**

- ⃝ Subtraction Property of Equality
- ⃝ Addition Property of Equality
- ⃝ Distributive Property
- ⃝ \(2x + 32 = 10\)

This exercise challenges students to identify the correct reasoning or algebraic property used in part A of a flowchart proof, facilitating their understanding of algebraic manipulations. The primary focus is on recognizing steps and applying the appropriate algebraic properties for solving linear equations.
