To solve the problem, we need to identify the property of equality that justifies each step in the given equations. Let's go through each table step by step.

Table 1:


Equation: \( x + (x - 6) = 8 \)

| Equation | Steps |
|-------------------|---------------------------------|
| \( x + (x - 6) = 8 \) | Original Equation |
| \( 2x - 6 = 8 \) | Combining Like Terms |
| | Addition Property of Equality |
| \( x = 7 \) | Division Property of Equality |

- Step 1: \( x + (x - 6) = 8 \) → \( 2x - 6 = 8 \)
- Justification: Combining like terms (simplifying the left side).

- Step 2: \( 2x - 6 = 8 \) → \( 2x = 14 \)
- Justification: Addition Property of Equality (add 6 to both sides).

- Step 3: \( 2x = 14 \) → \( x = 7 \)
- Justification: Division Property of Equality (divide both sides by 2).

Table 2:


Equation: \( x + (4x + 12) = 12 \)

| Equation | Steps |
|-------------------|---------------------------------|
| \( x + (4x + 12) = 12 \) | Original Equation |
| \( 5x + 12 = 22 \) | Combining Like Terms |
| \( 5x = 10 \) | Subtraction Property of Equality |
| | Division Property of Equality |
| \( x = 2 \) | |

- Step 1: \( x + (4x + 12) = 12 \) → \( 5x + 12 = 22 \)
- Justification: Combining like terms (simplifying the left side).

- Step 2: \( 5x + 12 = 22 \) → \( 5x = 10 \)
- Justification: Subtraction Property of Equality (subtract 12 from both sides).

- Step 3: \( 5x = 10 \) → \( x = 2 \)
- Justification: Division Property of Equality (divide both sides by 5).

Table 3:


Equation: \( 4(x - 6) = 40 \)

| Equation | Steps |
|-------------------|---------------------------------|
| \( 4(x - 6) = 40 \) | Original Equation |
| \( x - 6 = 10 \) | Division Property of Equality |
| \( x = 16 \) | Addition Property of Equality |

- Step 1: \( 4(x - 6) = 40 \) → \( x - 6 = 10 \)
- Justification: Division Property of Equality (divide both sides by 4).

- Step 2: \( x - 6 = 10 \) → \( x = 16 \)
- Justification: Addition Property of Equality (add 6 to both sides).

Table 4:


Equation: \( 5x + (3(x + 4)) = 28 \)

| Equation | Steps |
|-------------------|---------------------------------|
| \( 5x + (3(x + 4)) = 28 \) | Original Equation |
| \( 5x + 3x + 12 = 28 \) | Distributive Property |
| \( 8x + 12 = 28 \) | Combining Like Terms |
| | Subtraction Property of Equality |
| \( x = 2 \) | Division Property of Equality |

- Step 1: \( 5x + (3(x + 4)) = 28 \) → \( 5x + 3x + 12 = 28 \)
- Justification: Distributive Property (distribute 3 across \( x + 4 \)).

- Step 2: \( 5x + 3x + 12 = 28 \) → \( 8x + 12 = 28 \)
- Justification: Combining like terms (simplify the left side).

- Step 3: \( 8x + 12 = 28 \) → \( 8x = 16 \)
- Justification: Subtraction Property of Equality (subtract 12 from both sides).

- Step 4: \( 8x = 16 \) → \( x = 2 \)
- Justification: Division Property of Equality (divide both sides by 8).

Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c|c}
\text{Table 1} & \text{Table 2} \\
\hline
\text{Combining Like Terms} & \text{Combining Like Terms} \\
\text{Addition Property of Equality} & \text{Subtraction Property of Equality} \\
\text{Division Property of Equality} & \text{Division Property of Equality} \\
\hline
\text{Table 3} & \text{Table 4} \\
\hline
\text{Division Property of Equality} & \text{Distributive Property} \\
\text{Addition Property of Equality} & \text{Combining Like Terms} \\
& \text{Subtraction Property of Equality} \\
& \text{Division Property of Equality} \\
\end{array}
}
\]
