What is the justification for each step in the solution of the equation?

54+2x=5x−3(2+6x)

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly justify each step.

−5 ( 4x+6

) <−18x+6+4x
- Given (EXAMPLE)

−20x−30<−18x+6+4x
 Combine like terms - Distrubutive Property - Subtraction Property of Inequality

−20x−30<−14x+6
- Addition Property of Inequality - Combine like terms - Subtraction Property of Inequality

−6x−30<6
- Addition Property of Inequality - Division Property of Inequality - Multiplication Property of Inequality

-6x<36
- Addition Property of Inequality - Multiplication Property of Inequality - Division Property of Inequality

x>-6
- Subtraction Property of Inequality - Division Property of Inequality - Addition Property of Inequality
