Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below. x + y = 4 is the same as 4 = x + y Transitive Property Reflexive Property Symmetric Property Distributive Property

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, if you have x = y, then you can also say y = x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of a mirror reflection...reflections produce symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the symmetric property is if x = y then y = x

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below. ab = ab Reflexive Property Transitive Property Symmetric Property Commutative Property of Multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I knnow that one isnt C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, eliminate what you can

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

something is always equal to itself is due to the reflexive property (think of the mirror again, but it's not the symmetric property)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i understand that one now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the equation 5x = 45 7 9 5 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it is B
