How to solve Solve 3!

Simonne used the following steps to simplify the given expression. 12 - 3(-2x + 4) step 1: 12 + (–3)·(–2x) + (–3)·(4) step 2: 12 + 6x + (–12) step 3: 12 + (–12) + 6x step 4: 0 + 6x step 5: 6x what property of real numbers was used to transition from step 3 to step 4? a. identity property of addition b. inverse property of addition c. associative property of addition d. commutative property of addition

The transitive property of equality states that: o if a = b, then bra o if a = b, then ac = bc o if a = b and b= c, then a = if a = b and c= c, then a + b = b + c

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x2 + 5x + 7 = 0 0 cannot be determined 1 2
