Question

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below.
If x = 3 and 3 = y, then x = y.

Answer 1

i would guess commutative property

Answer 2

From this page

http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/algebra/post.htm


Three properties on that page are...

Reflexive Property of Equality: a = a

Symmetric Property of Equality: if a = b, then b = a

Transitive Property of Equality: if a = b and b = c, then a = c


which property matches with what you have?

Answer 3

Commutative Property of Addition

Associative Property of Addition

Transitive Property

Symmetric Property

Answer 4

Compare

If x = 3 and 3 = y, then x = y

with

if a = b and b = c, then a = c

Answer 5

not commutative , my bad.. they didnt move anything.
