Answer: Last option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Addition property of equality states that:
[tex]If\ a=b\\then:\ a+c=b+c[/tex]
The Subtraction property of equality states that:
[tex]If\ a=b\\then:\ a-c=b-c[/tex]
The Multiplication property of equality states that:
[tex]If\ a=b\\then:\ a*c=b*c[/tex]
The Division property of equality states that:
[tex]If\ a=b\\then:\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}[/tex]
This properties keep the equations balanced.
Given the equation [tex]-3x = 252[/tex], you need to find the value of the variable "x", therefore, you must solve for "x".
To find its value, you need to apply the Divison property of equality: divide both sides of the equation by -3. Then:
[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{252}{-3}\\\\x=-84[/tex]
