20 POINTS!! PLEASE HELP DUE NOWWW!


Gia started to solve the equation 3(x − 10) − 5x = 2x − 26 below. They want to move the variables to the left side of the equation for their next step.



Fill in Line 4 and give the property.



Line 1: 3(x − 10) − 5x = 2x − 26 Original Problem

Line 2: 3x − 30 − 5x = 2x − 26 Distributive Property

Line 3: -2x − 30 = 2x − 26 Collect Like Terms

Answer:

-4x - 30 = -26   Inverse property of addition

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the variable to the left you would subtract the 2x from both sides and you'll be left with -4x - 30 = -26. Adding the negative of a number from the same number (ex. 30 + (-30)) is called inverse property of addition. which we did here but with 2x.
