The first step to solve the equation StartFraction x over 4 EndFraction minus three-fourths = 16 is shown below. StartFraction x over 4 EndFraction minus three-fourths + three-fourths = 16 + three-fourths Which property was applied in this step?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{3}{4}=16[/tex]

We need to find the first step to solve this expression.

For this, we add 3/4 to both sides of the equation i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}=16+\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=16+\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

So, we have used the addition property of equality.
