Question

Consider the equation and its solution 8X - 2 = 64, 8X - 16 = 60, 8X = 80, X = 10. Which property is used in the last step to find X = 10?

A. Addition Property of Equality
B. Subtraction Property of Equality
C. Multiplication Property of Equality
D. Division Property of Equality

Answer 1

The Division Property of Equality is used to find X = 10 in the given equation. Hence the correct answer is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The property used in the last step to find X = 10 is Division Property of Equality. In the equation, 8X = 80, we want to isolate X, so we divide both sides of the equation by 8. This gives us X = 10.

Hence the correct answer is option D
