If m = s and s = w, which statement is true? A. m > w B. m = w C. m < w D. m + s = w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Have you been taught the transitive property of equality @Lillian~<3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last time i Chose D & No

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\huge\text{Transitive Property of Equality}$$ $$\huge\text{For all real numbers a, b, and c,}$$ $$\huge\text{If a= b and b=c,}$$ $$\huge\text{then a=c.}$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its just Really hard for me to understand

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

what does a=b mean to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nothing really...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

It means the number you replace a with is the same as the number you replace b with, that is why a=b

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

= means same value or same number

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

4 + 2 = 6 because I can replace 4 + 2 with 6 and get the true statement 6 = 6

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@Lillian~<3 are you still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I'm just trying to read it over & Over to understand it

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Let's say today's temperature is 20 degrees and I label it a, so a=20, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Now, let's say tomorrow's temperature is also 20 degrees and I label it b, so now b=20, OK so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Obviously, a=b since 20=20, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Finally, let's say the day after is also 20 degrees which I label as c and can say c=20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i still don't know the Answer to the question i ask & I only have a little bit of time left

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

If a=b and b=c, then a=c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm gonna fail again..

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

If m = s and s = w, then m=?
