Question

name the property of inequality that justifies the following statement:
if BC + DE < FG + DE, then BC < FG

Answer 1

i got no idea so i'll just throw out associative property lol.

Answer 2

It's not the associative property.
It's the addition and subtraction property which states that you can add or subtract the same thing to both sides and it will preserve the inequality. This is very similar to the property that lets you add or subtract the same thing on both sides of an equation.

Answer 3

Do you see why that property applies in this case, Sabrinah?

Answer 4

Yes now i see it. Thanks for the help :)

Answer 5

My pleasure! =D
