the symmetric property of equality states : a = b, then b = a.

so ur property above ^^ is symmetric

Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

The property that allows us to represent the expression 3=x in the form x=3 is:

d) Symmetric.

Explanation:

We know that if a and b are two elements of a set such that:

a is related to be then symmetric property states that b must be related to a.

Hence, if a=b then symmetric property of set states that b=a.

Here we have:

a=3 and b=x

Hence, we have by symmetric property.

if: 3=x then it could be written as x=3
