Question

Which statement is an example of the Reflexive Property of Equality?

A. If p = q, then p – s = q – s.
B. x + a = x + b
C. x = x
D. If p = q, then p + s = q + s.

Answer 1

It would appear to be D, if p = q, then p + s = q + s.

Answer 2

I need to fix A.

Answer 3

Reflexive Property states that for every real number x, x = x.

Answer 4

An example of reflexive property is CD=CD so what answer looks like that example

Answer 5

The Symmetric Property states that for all real numbers x and y, if x = y, then y = x.

Answer 6

Oh my mistake, C would be the closest answer.

Answer 7

A = If p=q, then p-s = q-s

Answer 8

Yes, so to make A an example of the reflexive property of equality, you might write If p = q, then q = p.

Answer 9

but yes I see, x=x just like what you said as ex: CD=CD

Answer 10

Thank you all.

Answer 11

No problem. :)
