Complete the two- column proof

Given: 11x - 6y = -1; x = 8
Prove: 98/6 = y
11x - 6y = -1; x = 8
88 - 6y = -1
-6y = -89
y = 89/6
89/6 = y

The correct answers are a) given; b) substitution property; c) subtraction property of equality; d) division property of equality; and e) reflexive property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:
The first line of your proof just restates what was given to us; therefore the reason is "given."

Between the first step and the second step, 11x was changed to 88; this is because x=8, and we substitute that in for x. That would give us 11*8=88, with the justification being substitution.

Between the second line and third line, 88 is cancelled from the left side and the -1 becomes -89; this happens because in order to cancel a positive 88, you must subtract it from both sides. This is the subtraction property of equality.

Between the third line and fourth line, -6 is cancelled from the left side and on the right side, -89 is changed to 89/6. This happens because in order to cancel the -6 that is beside the y (which means multiplication), we must divide both sides; this is the division property of equality.

The last step is to rewrite the equation with y on the left and the answer on the right; the reflexive property allows us to do that.
