Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:

x - 3

3

= x + 3

Step 1 ⇒ x - 3 = 3 (x + 3)

Step 2 ⇒ x - 3 = 3x + 9

Step 3 ⇒ x = 3x + 12

Step 4 ⇒ - 2x = 12

Step 5 ⇒ x = - 6

Identify the property of equality which yields Step 1.

A) Division Property

B) Addition Property

C) Subtraction Property

D) Multiplication Property

    I'm assuming this question is asking the process which yields step 1 to step 2, because step 1 just shows the equation, while step 2 actually shows the answer choice D, which is the multiplication property. 3 (x + 3) is multiplied as 3 x 'x' and 3 x 3 which comes out to 3x + 9.
