Solving 5(x - 3) = 7x/2

Step 1 ⇒ 10(x - 3) = 7x
Step 2 ⇒ 10x - 30 = 7x
Step 3 ⇒ 3x - 30 = 0 . . . . . . addition (or subtraction) property of equality
Step 4 ⇒ 3x = 30
Step 5 ⇒ x = 10 

Answer:

The property used in Step 3 is the subtraction and addition property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation several steps are used

Given equation -   5(x-3)=7 x/2

Step 1 : 10(x-3) = 7 x      (Multiplication property of equality)

Step 2: 10 x - 30 = 7 x  

Step 3: 3 x = 30    (Subtraction and addition property of equality)

Step 4: x = 10
