Question

The Substitution Property of Equality states that if LM = 7, and ER + LM = NP, then _____ = NP.

Answer 1

It has been given that ER + LM = NP

and LM = 7

Substituting value of LM in the equation above

ER + 7 = NP

Hence, the answer is NP = ER + 7

Answer 2

Value of NP is ER+7

Explanation:

Given ER + LM = NP then we have to find NP.

Substitution property of equality states that if a=b, then a can be substituted as b in any of given equation and b can be substituted as a in any equation.

If LM = 7 and ER + LM = NP

then by applying Substitution property of equality, LM is substituted as 7 in equation ER + LM = NP

⇒ ER+7=NP

Hence, value of NP is ER+7
