The given equation has been solved in the table. In which step was the subtraction property of equality applied?

Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtraction property of equality tells that whatever subtracted from one side of the equation must be subtracted from the other side.
If x + 2 = 2,
By the property of subtraction of equality,
x + 2 - 2 = 2 - 2
x = 0
But in the given question,
[tex]\frac{x}{2}-7=-7[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{2}-7+7=-7+7[/tex]
shows the addition property of equality in step (2)
Therefore, subtraction property of equality was not applied.
Option (D) will be the answer.
Answer:
Option (D) The subtraction property of equality was not applied to solve this equation.
