Question

Which property is illustrated by the statement, if KL = LM, then LM = KL?

oReflexive Property of Equality
oSymmetric Property of Equality
oTransitive Property of Equality
oDivision Property of Equality

Explain please.

According to the Transitive Property of Equality, if TX = XY and XY = YZ, then TX = what?

TX
XY
YZ
TZ

Answer 1

okay , so if it is symmetric, then it is reflected on both sides, like this, right? like a mirror!

Answer 2

The first one just reverses the order across the equals sign... this can be thought of like a "mirror"... and it's an example of symmetry.

Reflexive would be like stating KL = KL

Division doesn't make any sense.

Transitive requires a third term... if a = b, and b = c, then a = c

Answer 3

Oh okay, I understand. :)
