Subtraction Property of Equality

The Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, both sides of the equation will remain equal.

Take the following equation:

4x = 4x

After subtracting 2x from each side, the sides of the equation remain equal:

2x = 2x
