Question

Select the postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated.

If 5 = x + 2, then x + 2 = 5

addition postulate of inequality
the multiplication postulate of inequality
the symmetric postulate of equality
the transitive postulate of equality
comparison postulate
the reflexive postulate of equality
the transitive postulate of inequality

Answer 1

The symmetric property of equality.

This property states that: if a = b, b = a.

Answer 2

Option 3 is correct.

By symmetric postulates of equality

Explanation:

Symmetric postulates of equality states that if one value is equal to another value, then the second value is also equal to the first value i.e,

if x =y , then y =x

Given:

If 5 =x +2

then by symmetric property of equality;

x+2 = 5
