Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

"When solving 4x-3=5 the property used in the first step is the addition property of equality."

[tex]\boxed{x = 2}[/tex]

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • We would 'undo' operations to solve for x.
  • We would have to remove the '-3' first. Since the opposite of subtraction is addition, we would use the addition property of equality.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x'....}}\\\\4x-3=5\\----------\\\text{\textbf{Addition Property of Equality:} Add three on both sides.}}\\\\\rightarrow 4x - 3 = 5 \\\rightarrow 4x -3 + 3 = 5 + 3\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{4x = 8}\\\\\text{\textbf{Division Property of Equality:} Divide both sides by 4.}}\\\\\rightarrow {4x=8}\\\rightarrow \frac{4x=8}{4}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x = 2}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻
