. Otherwise, identify the property that justifies it. If one of the cancellation properties is being used to transform the equation, identify the quantity that is added to or multiplied by both sides.

2x 5y5 z = 3y5 z 2x 8y5 = 0-2x - 5y5 - z = 3y5 - z -2x - 8y5 = 0

Solution

-2x - 5y^5 - z = 3y^5 - z

Here we subtract 3y^5 both sides :

-2x - 5y^5 - 3y^5 - z = 3y^5 - z - 3y^5
to get
-2x - 8y^5 - z = -z

Now, add z both sides :
-2x - 8y^5 - z + z = -z + z

to finally get

-2x - 8y^5 = 0
