Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:

5(x - 3) = 7

Step 1 = 101x - 3) = 7x

Step 2 = 10x - 30 = 7x

Step 3 = 3x - 30 = 0

Step 4 = 3x = 30

Step 5 = x= 10

Identify the property of equality which yields Step 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

Also given their solved steps as below

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

10x+10(-3)=7x

Step 2: 10 x - 30 = 7 x   ( by using the Distributive property )

10x-7x-30=7x-7x

Step 3: 3 x - 30=0    (by using the subtraction and Addition properties of equality)

3x-30+30=0+30

Step 4: 3x = 30

Step 5: x=10
