Answer: B) Subtraction property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]x+5=15[/tex], you need to solve for x to find its value. Then, you need to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

This property is called "Subtraction property of equality" and states that, to keep the equation balanced, if you subtract a number from one side of the equation, you must subtract the same number from the other side:

If:

[tex]a=b[/tex]

Then:

[tex]a-c=b-c[/tex]

Applying this property:

[tex]x+5-(5)=15-(5)\\x=10[/tex]
