For each algebraic equation, select the property that could be used to solve it: 1. x-3=-5 2. 6x=72 3. x/5=3

x - 3 = - 5 ⇒ x = - 5 + 3 ⇒ x = - 2

6x = 72 ⇒ x = 72:6 ⇒ x = 12

x/5 = 3 ⇒ x = 5·3 ⇒ x = 15

X - 3 = - 5 ... addition property ... because u add - 3 to both sides

6x = 72 ... either division property ... because u divide both sides by 6.

or multiplication property ... because u multiply both sides by 1/6

x/5 = 3 ... multiplication property ... because u multiply both sides by 5
