Question

Which property of equality is represented?
If 8x = 5y - 3z, then 5y -3z = 8x

Answer 1

The symmetric property

Explanation:

The symmetric property of equality says we can exchange the sides of an equation and it will still be true..

In symbols, it says

If a = b, then b = a.

Your statement is

If 8x = 5y - 3z, then 5y -3z = 8x

Let a = 8x and b = 5y - 3z and your statement becomes

If a=b, then b=a

It is an example of the symmetric property of equality.
