D. Lesson Proper
Activity 3. The Properties of Equality. To solve equations
algebraically, we need to use the various properties of equality. Create
your own examples for each property.
Reflexive Property of Equality. For each real number a, a=a .
Examples:
3=3 , – b=−b , x+2=x+ 2
Symmetric Property of Equality. For any real numbers a and b,
if a=b then b=a.
Examples:
If 2+3=5 ,then 5=2+3.
If x – 5=2 , then2=x – 5.
Transitive Property of Equality. For any real numbers a, b, and c,
If a=b∧b=c , then a=c
Examples:
If 2+3=5∧5=1+ 4 , then2+3=1+4.
If x – 1= y∧ y =3 , then x – 1=3.
Substitution Property of Equality. For any real numbers a and b: If a=b, then
a may be replaced by b, or b may be replaced by a, in any mathematical
sentence without changing its meaning.
Examples:
If x+ 1=5∧x =4 ,then 4+1=5.
If 6 – b=2∧b=4 , then6 – 4=2.
Addition Property of Equality (APE). For all real numbers a, b, and c, a = b if
and only if a+ c=b+ c. If we add the same number to both sides of the equal
sign, then the two sides remain equal.
Example:
3
10 + 3 = 13 is true if and only if 10 + 3 + 248 = 13+ 248 is
also true (because the same number, 248, was added to both sides
of the equation).
Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE). For all real numbers a, b, and c,
where c ≠ 0, a=b if and only if ac=bc. If we multiply the same number to
both sides of the equal sign, then the two sides remain equal.
Example: 3 · 5 = 15 is true if and only if (3 · 5) · 2 = 15 · 2 is also
true (because the same number, 2, was multiplied to both sides of the
equation).
Solving equations:
x−4=7 Given
x−4+ 4=7+4 Addition Property of Equality
x−4+ 4=7+4 Associative Property
x +0=11 Inverse property
x=11 Identity property
To check if 11 is the solution, substitute 11 for x in the original equation.
Check: x−4=7
11−4=7
7=7
