Question

Match the property of equality with the corresponding definition given that a = b.

a+c=b+c
subtraction property of equality
a(c) = b(c)
addition property of equality
a-c=b-c
division property of equality
ale = b c

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

`a = b`

Required

Match proper type of equality

Each of the equality properties can easily be identified with their names; For multiplication property of equality, same term must be multiplied on both sides;

For addition, same term must be added on both sides;

Same thing implies for division and subtraction

Multiplication:

`a(c) = b(c)`

Subtraction

`a - c = b - c`

Addition

`a + c = b + c`

Division

`a/c = b/c`
