Question

If AB + BC = 24 and AB = 10, then 10 + BC = 24 is an example of the?

Symmetric Property

Substitution Property

Addition Property

Reflexive Property

Answer 1

Given that,

AB + BC = 24 and AB = 10, then 10 + BC = 24.

To find,

The above expression is an example of what?

Solution,

We have,

AB + BC = 24 ....(1)

and

AB = 10

Substitute AB = 10 in equation (1).

10+BC=24

BC = 24-10

BC = 14

Therefore, we have used Substitution Property. Hence, the correct option is (2).
