Answer:

The identity property of multiplication

Explanation:

If a, b and c are any real numbers,

By addition property of equality,

a = b ⇒ a + c = b + c,

By identity property of addition,

a + 0 = a,

By multiplication property of equality,

a = b ⇒ a × c = b × c,

By identity property of multiplication,

a × 1 = a

Thus, it is clear that,

'The identity property of multiplication' justifies Step 6 .
