Question

Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 2.

Step 1 12 - 3x - 12 + 4x = (12 - 3x) + (-12 + 4x)
Step 2 = (12 - 3x) + (4x - 12)
Step 3 = 12 + (-3x + 4x) - 12
Step 4 = 12 + (-3 + 4)x - 12
Step 5 = 12 + x - 12
Step 6 = x + 12 - 12
Step 7 = x + 0
Step 8 = x

Answer 1

@Starr_Dynasty Don't run off just yet, okay?

Answer 2

lol ok @Directrix

Answer 3

The question is how to get from:

(12 - 3x) + (-12 + 4x) to (12 - 3x) + (4x - 12)

@Starr_Dynasty is just looking around -->You've already gone.

Answer 4

nope im not @Directrix

Answer 5

(-12 + 4x) to (4x - 12) is which property @Starr_Dynasty

Note that the order of addition changed.
