Question

If a + b = c and b = 5, then a + 5 = c is known as the ________ property.Question options:A) reflexiveB) substitutionC) transitiveD) symmetric

Answer 1

Given data:

It is given that a+b=c and b=5.

Now according to substitution property if x and y are equal then x can be placed instead of y anywhere.

So, if

`\begin{gathered} a+b=c,\text{ and b=5} \\ \end{gathered}`

then we can write 5 instead of b in th equation by substitution property.

`a+5=c`

So, the correct answer is B) substituion
