Answer:

division property of equality

Explanation:

The property used in the last step to find x = 10 in the expression is the division property of equality.

8(x-2) = 64

8x-18 = 84

8x = 80

x = 10

In 8x = 80 ;

Division property of equality was used to find the value of x.

The property states that when we divide both sides by a non-zero value, the two sides remains the same.
