Need help Geometric Proofs...? (I'll post the questions)
Look at the given info and step 1 statement. What was done?
Number 1 is the given, right?
Right. That's your first reason. 1. Given
Is number 2 Distributive property?
Now look in the statements. What is the difference between statement 1 and statement 2?
Correct. 2 Distributive
3. addition property of equality?
Now for 3, what is the difference between statement 2 and statement 3?
No. The addition property of equality states you can add the same thing to both sides of an equation. I don't see any thing different on the right side. Describe in your own words the difference you see between statement 2 and statement 3.
Oh okay, like terms were added? 15 and 9?
Right. I'd say that 15 + 9 was replaced by 24. You could say 15 + 9 was SUBSTITUTED by 24. Does that make you think of a reason?
Substitution property? :D
Excellent.
You have: 3. Substitution Now what happened between statements 3 and 4?
Okay, so number 4 would be subtraction property of equality?
Great. 4. Subtraction Property of Addition.
What do you think 5 is?
Number 5 would be additive identity?
It shows that adding a zero to a number does not change the number.
Correct again.
5. Additive identity
And would 6 be division property of equality?
Exactly. You're great. What an excellent job. I think you should be helping people instead of asking for help.
Yay! I get it now! Thank you so much :) Helped more than any of my teachers all year! haha. thank you :)
