Question

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below.

Answer 1

Transitive or symmetric property

Answer 2

its got be one of does

Answer 3

Transitive Property.
Substitution Property could be argued.
I don't see Symmetric as a viable option.

Answer 4

transitive p

Answer 5

@doulo What are the options?

Answer 6

its transitive.

Answer 7

symmetric well one side is equal to another side,

Answer 8

What are the options then ?

Answer 9

Symmetric: If a and b are real numbers and a = b, the b = a. That is not what is going on here.

Answer 10

OOH, thats what that is, so is symmetric the same thing as communative?

Answer 11

No.
Symmetric is not the same as commutative.

Symmetric flips two quantities about, in this case, the equality symbol.
Symmetric: If a and b are real numbers and a = b, the b = a.

Commutative flips about an operational symbol.
Commutative property of Addition: If a and b are real numbers, then a + b = b + a.
