Answer:

A

Explanation:

The additive inverse property states that if we have a number a, then:


a+(-a)=0

Here, we have the equation:


2x=542

And we divide both sides by 2:


2x/2=542/2

To acquire:


x=271

So, we did not use the additive inverse property since we didn't add anything.

Instead, we used the division property of equality by dividing both sides by 2.

So, our answer is A.

And we're done!
