Answer:

Addition Property of Equality

Explanation:

Addition Property of Equality.

The addition property of equality justifies the work done in Line 3. This is because it essentially states that if you add something to one side of an equation, you must add it to the other side as well. In this case, we are adding 22 to both sides of the equation, therefore we are making use of the Addition Property of Equality.
