The property applied which justifies his first step is: D) distributive property of multiplication.

What is the Distributive Property of Multiplication?

Th distributive property of multiplication states that, c(a + b) = ac + bc.

The first step given is:

12x² - 7x = 6(-2x² + 2)

Applying the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction, we would have:

12x² - 7x = 6(-2x²) + 6(2)

12x² - 7x = -12x² + 12

Thus, the property that justifies this step is: D) distributive property of multiplication
