2.4 Reasoning with Properties from Algebra. Algebraic Properties of Equality. Addition property: If a=b, then a+c = b+c. Subtraction property: If a=b, then a-c = b-c. Multiplication property: If a=b, then ac = bc. Division property: If a=b, and c≠0, then a/c = b/c. Writing reasons.

Algebraic Properties of Equality • Addition property: If a=b, then a+c = b+c. • Subtraction property: If a=b, then a-c = b-c. • Multiplication property: If a=b, then ac = bc. • Division property: If a=b, and c≠0, then a/c = b/c.

Solve • Solve 5x – 18 = 3x + 2 and explain each step in writing. 5x – 18 = 3x + 2 2x – 18 = 2 2x = 20 x = 10 Subtraction p. of e. Addition p. of e. Division p. of e.
More properties of equality • Reflexive property: For any real number a, a=a. • Symmetric property: If a=b, then b=a. • Transitive property: If a=b and b=c, then a=c. • Substitution property: If a=b, then a can be substituted for b in any equation or expression.
