What is the Symmetric Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then b = a. This property states that if one quantity equals another, then the second quantity equals the first.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

What is the Addition Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then a + c = b + c. This property states that you can add the same value to both sides of an equation without changing the equality.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then a - c = b - c. This property states that you can subtract the same value from both sides of an equation without changing the equality.

Front

What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then ac = bc. This property states that you can multiply both sides of an equation by the same non-zero value without changing the equality.

Front

What is the Division Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b and c ≠ 0, then a/c = b/c. This property states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero value without changing the equality.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property of Equality?

Back

For any number a, a = a. This property states that any quantity is equal to itself.

Front

How do you apply the Distributive Property in an equation?

Back

To apply the Distributive Property, multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

Front

What is an example of using the Addition Property of Equality?

Back

If x - 3 = 5, you can add 3 to both sides to get x = 8.

Front

What is an example of using the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

If x + 4 = 10, you can subtract 4 from both sides to get x = 6.
