drag a statement or reason to each box to complete this proof.

if −2(x+1)=8, then x=−5.
(look at the photo)

The proof will be as follows

      Statement                                  Reason

1. -2(x+1) = 8                                      Given

2.  -2(x+1)/ -2 = 8/-2                          Division Property of equality

3. x+1 = -4                                          Simplifying

4. x+1-1 = -4-1                                      Subtraction property of Equality

5. x = -5                                             Simplifying

The option of Distributive property of equality will not be used ..
