Answer:

subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

trial and error


The property will be used to complete the first step in solving for n will be subtraction property of equality.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term has an exponent of 1 and when this equation is graphed, it always results in a straight line. This is the reason why it is named as a 'linear equation'.

What is property of equality?

Properties of equality describe the relation between two equal quantities and if an operation is applied on one side of the equation, then it must be applied on the other side to keep the equation balanced.

We have mainly nine properties of equality - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, reflexive, symmetric, transitive, substitution, and square root properties.

The addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properties of equality help to solve algebraic equations involving real numbers. The reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties of equality together define the equivalence relation.

According to the question

The linear equation :

2.5n + 5.2 = 35.2  

property will be used to complete the first step in solving for n will be

As to solve the linear equation

we will first subtract the 5.2 from 35.2

i.e

2.5n + 5.2 = 35.2

2.5n = 35.2 - 5.2  -------------------- (First step)

2.5n = 30

n = [tex]\frac{30}{2.5}[/tex]  ------------------------------------(Second step)

n = 12

Hence, property will be used to complete the first step in solving for n will be subtraction property of equality.
