PROPERTIES OF EQUALITY NIKIE V. GOLONG Special Science Teacher I
OBJECTIVES: Define the properties of equality used in solving mathematical equations; Identify the different properties of equality through examples and mathematical expressions;
Definition: Any quantity is equal to itself. Reflexive
If a is a real number, then a = a Example: 5 = 5, x = x Reflexive
Symmetric Definition: If one quantity equals a second quantity, then the second equals the first.
Symmetric If a = b , then: b = a Example: If x +2 = 7, then 7= x + 2
Transitive Definition: If one quantity equals a second quantity and the second equals a third quantity, then the first equals the third.
Transitive If a = b and b = c , then a = c Example: If x = y + 3 and y + 3 = 10, then x = 10
Substitution Definition: If two quantities are equal, one may be substituted for the other in any expression or equation.
Substitution If a = b , then b can be substituted for a (or vice versa) in any expression. Example: If x = 5 and 3 x = y , then 3(5) = y
Let’s Practice!
1. Which property is shown by the statement: If P = Q, then Q = P? A. Symmetric Property B. Substitution Property C. Reflexive Property D. Transitive Property
2. Identify the property: For any variable z, z = z. A. Transitive Property B. Symmetric Property C. Substitution Property D. Reflexive Property
3. If x = 10 and 10 = y, then x = y. This is an example of the: A. Symmetric Property B. Reflexive Property C. Substitution Property D. Transitive Property
4. Given A = B + C. If B + C = 5, then A = 5. What property justifies this step? A. Symmetric Property B. Transitive Property C. Reflexive Property D. Substitution Property
5. When you replace ‘cost’ with ‘ ₱5.00’ in the sentence, ‘The total is the cost plus tax,’ assuming ‘cost = ₱5.00’, which property is used? A. Reflexive Property B. Transitive Property C. Substitution Property D. Symmetric Property
What property of equality is being shown? 6. If 10=x, then x=10 SYMMETRIC
What property of equality is being shown? 7. If c=2, then 2c=4. SUBSTITUTION
What property of equality is being shown? 8. xyz = xyz REFLEXIVE
What property of equality is being shown? 9. If x = 2, and 2 = y, then x = y. TRANSITIVE
What property of equality is being shown? 10. If 4d=r, then r=4d SYMMETRIC
Addition Definition: The same number may be added to both sides of an equation without changing the equality.
Addition If a = b , then a + c = b + c Example: x – 4 = 6 x – 4 + 4 = 6 + 4 x = 10
Subtraction Definition: The same number may be subtracted from both sides of an equation without changing the equality.
Subtraction If a = b , then a - c = b - c Example: x + 4 = 6 x + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4 x = 2
Multiplication Definition: Both sides of an equation may be multiplied by the same nonzero number without changing the equality.
Multiplication If a = b , then a • c = b • c Example:
Division Definition: Both sides of an equation may be divided by the same nonzero number without changing the equality.
Division If a = b and c ≠ 0, then Example:
Let’s Practice!
1. When solving the equation x + 4 = 10, you subtract 4 from both sides. Which property of equality are you using? A. Addition C. Division B. Multiplication D. Subtraction
2. If A = B, then A ⋅ C = B ⋅ C What property of equality is illustrated here? A. Addition C. Division B. Multiplication D. Subtraction
3. The step from to y = 15 is an application of the: A. Division Property of Equality B. Addition Property of Equality C. Subtraction Property of Equality D. Multiplication Property of Equality
4. To change 8x = 24 into x = 3, you divide both sides by 8. This is an example of the: A. Subtraction Property of Equality B. Multiplication Property of Equality C. Addition Property of Equality D. Division Property of Equality
What property of equality is being shown? x + 10 = 6 x + 10 – 10 = 6 - 10 x = -4 subtraction
What property of equality is being shown? multiplication
What property of equality is being shown? division
What property of equality is being shown? x - 10 = 6 x - 10 + 10 = 6 + 10 x = 16 addition
