If a number is decreased by 6, and the result is multiplied by 3, than the answer is 15. find the unknown number

What is the next step in the given proof? choose the most logical approach. a. statement: m 1 + m 2 + 2(m 3) = 180° reason: angle addition b. statement: m 1 + m 3 = m 2 + m 3 reason: transitive property of equality c. statement: m 1 = m 2 reason: subtraction property of equality d. statement: m 1 + m 2 = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality e. statement: 2(m 1) = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality
