Which property is used in the first step to solve this equation?

Answer:
distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
we know the distributive property states that the multiplication of a number (in this case, the number 4) by a sum (in this case is a subtraction: x-6) is equal to the sum of the multiplications of that number for each of the terms that belong to the sum:
we have: 4(x-6)
we apply the distributive property, so we have
4(x-6)=4*x-4*6
4(x-6)=4x-24
