Question Analysis:  
This question tests the understanding of the Subtraction Property of Equality in simplifying an equation.

Key Concept Explanation:  
The Subtraction Property of Equality states that if , then .
In this case, subtracting from both sides of the equation simplifies it to .

Step-by-Step Solution:  
1. Given the equation:  
 
  2a + 3b = 5b
 
2. Subtract from both sides to isolate the terms with :  
 
  2a + 3b - 3b = 5b - 3b
 
3. Simplify both sides:  
 
  2a = 2b

Option Analysis:  
- A) Distributive Property: Involves expanding expressions like
