Robert is solving an equation. The equation and the first three steps of his solution are shown below.
Original equation: 5(x + 7) + 8x = 9
Step 1: 5x + 35 + 8x = 9
Step 2: 5x + 8x + 35 = 9
Step 3: 13x + 35 - 35 = 9 - 35
Step 4: 13x = -26
State the property that allowed Robert to perform each steps above.
