Which of the following indicates the subtraction property of equality when solving the equation 4(x + 9) + 5 = 3x − 8? Question 10 options: 4(x + 9) = 3x − 8 − 5 4x + 36 + 5 = 3x − 8 4(x + 9) − 5 + 8 = 3x x = −49

4(x + 9) = 3x − 8 − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

4(x + 9) + 5 = 3x − 8

The subtraction property of equality states that if we subtract the same number from both sides of the equation, the equality remains.

So, if we subtract 5 from both sides:

4(x + 9) + 5-5 = 3x − 8 -5

4(x + 9) = 3x − 8 − 5
