Section 2-4 Reasoning with Properties from Algebra
Addition property • Adding something to each side of an equation Example: Given + 18 + 18 Therefore, the Addition Property of (=) was applied.
subtraction property • Subtracting from each side of an equation Example: Given Therefore, the Subtraction Property of (=) was applied.
Multiplication property • Multiplying something to each side of an equation 7 7 Given Example: Therefore, the Multiplication Property of (=) was applied.
division property • Dividing something on each side of an equation Given 2 2 Example: Therefore, the Division Property of (=) was applied.
Reflexive property • Same exact thing on each side of the equal sign! Examples:
Symmetric property • The sides of an equation are switched. (Nothing else is done with the equation.) Examples:
Transitive property * Relates to the Law of Syllogism!
substitution property • Plugging in something in place of another thing in any equation or expression. Example:
Distributive property • a(b+c) = ab +ac *Helps to get rid of parentheses Example: 4(x+y) Given = 4•x + 4•y = 4x + 4y Therefore, the Distribution Property was applied.
Simplification • To combine like terms Example: x= 3 + 5 Given = 8 Therefore, the Simplification was applied.
