The correct reason for statement 5 in the given equation is the "Addition Property of Equality." In this step, you're adding 6(1 + y) to both sides of the equation to maintain equality:

3y + 4 + 6(1 + y) = 9y + 10

By applying the Addition Property of Equality, you ensure that the equation remains balanced and correct.
