I need help please!

Answer 1

Jose wrote the following steps to prove the equation:

Given: 4(x + 1) = 10x – 8
Prove: x = 2

Step
Mathematical Statement
Justification
0
4(x + 1) = 10x – 8
Given
1
4x + 4 = 10x – 8
Distributive Property
2
4 = 6x – 8
Subtraction Property of Equality
3
12 = 6x
Addition Property of Equality
4
6x = 12
Symmetric Property of Equality
5
x = 2
Associative Property of Multiplication

Which step of justification is incorrect, and what should the justification for that step be to solve the equation?
Answer
Step 5; Division Property of Equality
Step 1; Commutative Property of Addition
Step 2; A

Answer 2

these are the last two choices: Step 2; Addition Property of Equality
Step 3; Subtraction Property of Equality

Answer 3

Step 3; Subtraction Property of Equality

Answer 4

step 3 is correct "Addition Property of Equality" because we are adding 8 to both sides

but step5 must be "Division Property of Equality"
