What does the Addition Property of Equality state?

If you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the new equation will have the same solution. (correct)

If you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the new equation will have a different solution.

If you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the new equation may not be true.

If you divide both sides of an equation by a number, the new equation will remain unchanged.

What is a contradiction in terms of equations?

An equation that has no solutions.
