Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:
x - 3
3
= x + 3

Step 1 ⇒ x - 3 = 3(x + 3)
Step 2 ⇒ x - 3 = 3x + 9
Step 3 ⇒ x = 3x + 12
Step 4 ⇒ -2x = 12
Step 5 ⇒ x = -6

Identify the property of equality which yields Step 1.

A)
Division Property

B)
Addition Property

C)
Subtraction Property

D)
Multiplication Property
