Answer 1

Subtraction Property of Equality

Explanation:

Given

`-x + 1 = -4`

`-x = -5`

Required

State which property is used

The word that describes the operation is; subtraction property of equality.

This property states that:

if
`x = y` then

`x - a = y - a`

So, for the given equation:

`-x + 1 = -4`

When the subtraction property of equality is applied

`-x + 1 - 1 = -4 - 1`

`-x = -5`

So:

(a) Subtraction Property of Equality is correct
