Answer:

a. Multiplication property of equality

b. Distributive property

c. addition property of equality

Explanation:

The first one is wrong because you are multiplying the 2 on both sides to make it equal. There was nothing that they substituted for.

The second one will be the distributive property not the subtraction property of equality. They distributed the 2 into the
(1)/(2)x and the
-5. So that clears up that this step was the distributive property.

This one will be the addition property of equality because when you have a negative number you do the inverse so they added the 10 on both sides. Therefore it's the addition property of equality.
