Proofs in Algebra: Properties of Equality
- Additional Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a + c = b + c
- Subtraction Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a – c = b – c
- Multiplication Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a × c = b × c
- Division Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a/c = b/c
- Reflexive Property of Equality: For every number a, a = a
- Symmetric Property of Equality: For all numbers a and b, if a = b, then b = a
- Transitive Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b and b = c, then a = c
- Substitution Property of Equality: For all numbers a and b, if a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any equation or expression
- Distribute Property of Equality: For all numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac
- One way to organize deductive reasoning is by using a two-column proof
