ANSWER

Transitive Property of Equality.


EXPLANATION


According to the transitive property of equality,

If a=b, and b=c, then a=c.


When we let a=8,b=x and c=y, then the statement becomes;


If 8 = x and x = y, then 8 = y.



Therefore the algebraic property presented here is the transitive property of equality.
