2. Identify the property of equality that justifies the missing step to solve the given equation

Subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

2x + (x+5) = 41

open the parenthesis;

2x+x + 5 = 41 (Associative property)

3x+5 = 41

Subtract 5 from both sides

3x + 5 = 41

3x + 5- 5 = 41 - 5 (Subtraction property of equality)

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3;

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12 (Division property of equality)

Hence the required property is Subtraction property of equality
