To solve the linear equation [tex]\(2.5n + 5.2 = 35.2\)[/tex], we need to isolate the variable [tex]\(n\)[/tex].

The first step is to get rid of the constant term [tex]\(5.2\)[/tex] on the left-hand side of the equation.

To do this, we subtract [tex]\(5.2\)[/tex] from both sides of the equation, which is an application of the subtraction property of equality.

So, the correct property to use in the first step is the subtraction property of equality.
