Given

Step 2

Distributive property of multiplication over addition

Step 3

Commutative property of multiplication

This justification is not correct.

This justification is not correct. This is rather the inverse property

This justification is not correct. This is rather the inverse propertyTherefore step 3 has an incorrect justification.

Step 4: 11x−40=10x+45

Associative property of addition

Step 5: x−40=45

Subtraction property of equality

Step 6: x=85

Addition property of equality

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c
