Q. When solving an equation, Gabrielle's first step is shown below. Which property justifies Gabrielle's first step?\newlineOriginal Equation:\newline2(x+1)=4 2(x+1)=4 \newlineFirst Step:\newline2x+2=4 2 x+2=4 \newlineaddition property of equality\newlineassociative property of multiplication\newlinedistributive property of multiplication over addition\newlinecommutative property of addition
  1. Transform Original Equation: Gabrielle's first step is to go from the original equation 2(x+1)=42(x+1)=4 to the equation 2x+2=42x+2=4. To determine which property justifies this step, we need to look at the transformation that has been applied to the original equation. Gabrielle has taken the term 2(x+1)2(x+1) and turned it into 2x+22x+2. This is done by applying a property of operations to the terms inside the parentheses.
  2. Apply Distributive Property: The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a(b+c)=ab+aca(b+c) = ab + ac. In the context of the equation, 2(x+1)2(x+1) can be distributed to become 2×x+2×12\times x + 2\times 1, which simplifies to 2x+22x + 2. This is exactly what Gabrielle did in her first step.
  3. Verify Math Accuracy: To check for any math errors, we can apply the distributive property ourselves to the original equation: 2(x+1)=2×x+2×1=2x+22(x+1) = 2\times x + 2\times 1 = 2x + 2. This matches Gabrielle's first step, confirming that there are no math errors in this step.
