between steps 2 & 3.

Associative property of addition

Commutative property of Addition

Distributive Property
Multiplicative Inverse
Step 1: 3(x + 4) +x = (3x + 12 ) +x Step 2: (12 + 3x ) + xStep 3: 12 + (3x + x)Step 4: 12 + 4x
Which equation below represent second step of the solution process.
 -6x - 3 + 6 = 45

-3 (2x + 7) = 45

-6x + 1 + 6 = 45

-3(2x + 6) + 1 = 45

Step1: -3(2x + 1 ) + 6 = 45

Step 2:

Step 3: -6x + 3 = 45

Step 4: -6x = 42

Step 5: x = -7
