Answer:

Addition property of equality

Explanation:

The given expression is :


(x)/(4)-(3)/(4)=16

We need to find the first step to solve this expression.

For this, we add 3/4 to both sides of the equation i.e.


(x)/(4)-(3)/(4)+(3)/(4)=16+(3)/(4)\\\\(x)/(4)=16+(3)/(4)

So, we have used the addition property of equality.
