Answer:

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 ..

Answer:

2.  Division Property of equality

3. x+1 = -4

4. Subtraction property of Equality

5. x = -5
