you have the following equation:
3x - 2 = 2(x+1)
You have to specify the property used in each step to get the solution of the previous equation. You obtain the following:
1. 3x - 2 = 2(x + 1) given
2. 3x - 2 = 2x + 2 distribution prop
3. 3x - 2x - 2 = 2x - 2x + 2 subtraction 2x both sides - subtraction prop
x - 2 = 2
4. x - 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 summation 2 both sides - addition prop
x = 4
