Fill in the missing reason for this

Given: 3x +5=14
Prove:x=3

Statement Reason
3x +5=14 Given
3x=9
X=3

Answer :

The steps are:

[tex]\begin{array}{c|c}\text{step}&\text{reason}\\3x+5=14&\text{given}\\3x=9&\text{subtraction property of equality}\\x=3&\text{division property of equality}\end{array}[/tex]

In the first step you subtracted 5 from both sides, in the second step you divided both sides by 3.
