Answer:

addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 4(x-5) = -12

Expand

4x - 20 = -12

Add 20 to both sides (addition property of equality)

4x-20+20 = -12+20

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Hence the value of x is 2

The justification for step 2 is addition property of equality
