Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5(x - 7) = 55, then using the distributive property, that is

a(b - c) = ab - ac, then

5x - 35 = 55

The property that was used to write the equation in step 2 is option A) distributive property

Given that,

  • 5(x - 7) = 55

So here we have to use the distributive property i.e.

  • a(b - c) = ab - ac,

So,  

5x - 35 = 55

Therefore we can conclude that The property that was used to write the equation in step 2 is option A) distributive property
