Answer: Subtraction Property of Equality

Explanation:

- the subtraction property of equality is the rule that when you subtract the same number to or from both sides of an equation and get an equivalent equation

__________________________________________________________

- for this equation you would subtract 5.2 from the left-side of the equation and subtract it from 35.2 on the right side of the equation

- this is to isolate n

- basically 2.5n = 30 since n is a variable and that number multiplied by 2.5 will equal 30

- so the new equation would be 2.5n = 30

- so then:
(n)/(2.5) =
(30)/(2.5) so n = 12

hope this helps :)
