Answer:
D. Distributive proprety
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you have to distribute 2 to make it 2x and then do 2 (12) which is 24 and then add 2 to it again which equals 40
Equation: 2(x - 12) + 2 = 40
1. E) Division property of equality: Allows us to divide the whole equation, here, by 2, which gives us x - 12 + 1 = 20
2. C) Combine like terms: Allows us to combine like terms, here, combining on the left side of the equation gives us x - 11 = 20
3. A) Addition property of equality: Allows us to subtract the whole equation, here, by 11, gives us x = 31
