Question 528788: Geometry proofs:
Given: 3(x-4) = 2x
Prove: x=19
3(x-4)=2x+7 Given
3x-12=2x+7. ?
? Subtraction property
X=19
What would the blanks be. I think that the first blank would be Defitiontion of congruence
But I'm not sure. Am I right, and what are the others?

1st blank: Distribution
2nd blank: I don't know what it is called but you subtract the 7 from both sides and subtract the 3x from both sides.
