Answer 1

division property of equality

Answer 2

Answer: The property that is included in the justification for the steps used to solve the equation is c. division property of equality .

Explanation:

Hi, the correct option is C .c. division property of equality.

To solve the equation given you have to apply the division property of equality because you have to divide both sides by seven to obtain the value of "x".

So, mathematically speaking:

7x = 42

7x / 7 = 42 /7

x = 6

The division property of equality says that if you divide both sides of the equation by a number (except number zero), the equality stays the same.
