Answer:

Subtraction property of equality

Explanation:

In mathematics that are various types of properties that can be used to solve for questions

In the above question:

If 3x - 14 = 12

then 3x = 26

The property that is applied here is the Subtraction property of equality.

The subtraction property of equality states that when we subtract from one side of and algebraic expression, we must subtract from the other side

a = b

a - c = b - c

a = 3x

b = 26

c = 14

3x = 26

3x - 14 = 26 - 14

then 3x - 14 = 12
