Answer:

Addition and Division property

Explanation:

Addition property is used in an equation when the same value is added to both sides of the equation to simplify such equation.

Given the equation 2y-40=-18 to simplify the equation further we need to first add 40 to both sides of the equation thereby justifying the addition property as shown;

2y-40 + 40 =-18+40

2y = 40-18

2y = 22

We will also apply the division property here. Division property is used when both sides of an equation is divided by a number without affecting the equality rule.

Dividing the resulting equation by 2:

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Hence the justification for the equation 2y-40=-18 are both adition and division property.
