Question

What property would justify this statement?
If a=b and b=c then a=c

Answer 1

Transitive property of equality would justify this statement.

If a = b and b = c then a = c

Explanation:

In math, we have a formula for this property. It says that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. This is telling us that if two things are equal and the second thing is equal to a third, then because the first two things are equal, it also means that the first is equal to the third as well.

For example of a = 8 , b = 8 then a = 8 must be equal to c .Since both a and 8 are equal to b, they must also be equal to each other.
