Question

If a = b, then a - c = b - c. This is the _________ property of equality

Example: If x + 3 = 6, then x + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3.



(Subtraction Property is the answer, according to USATESTPREP :) )

Answer 1

Subtraction property is the answer

Answer 2

subtraction property of equality

Explanation:

If a = b, then a - c = b - c. This is the _________ property of equality

Example: If
`x + 3 = 6`, then x + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3.

In this example , 3 is subtracted from both sides.

3 is subtracted from both sides in order to balance the equation

So we can say its subtraction property of equality

If a = b, then a - c = b - c

Here 'c' is subtracted from both sides

Its a subtraction property of equality
