Study Notes

Properties of Equality

  • Transitive Property of Equality: If TX=XY and XY=YZ, then TX=YZ.
  • Symmetric Property of Equality: If KL=LM, then LM=KL, illustrating the idea that equality can be stated in either order.

Algebraic Reasoning

  • Distributive Property: Applied to combine terms in an expression, as seen in the example: 3x + 1 + 6 = 8.
  • Combining Like Terms: Simplifies expressions by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable, shown in the equation 3x + 7 = 8.
  • Subtraction Property of Equality: Justifies the step where you subtract the same value from both sides of an equation, exemplified in the equation 3x = 1.
  • Division Property of Equality: Indicates that both sides of an equation can be divided by the same non-zero number, demonstrated in finding x = 1/3.
