First off, you have the distributive prop. After that, you have the subtraction property of equality, or in other words the inverse of the subtraction operation. Finally, you use the division property of equality or the inverse of the division operation. 

Answer:

Subtraction and division 

Step-by-step explanation:

After the distributive property the equation gotten is:

5x + 30 = 50

To isolate x, first you need to apply the inverse of the addition, which is subtraction, so the '+30' goes to the other side of the equal sign as a '-30', as follows:

5x = 50 - 30

5x = 20

Then, you need to pass the multiplying 5 to the other side of the equal sign, the inverse of multiplication is division, so the 5 goes dividing the 20, as follows:

x = 20/5

x = 4
