Algebraic Proof Flashcards
What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?
If a=b, then a-c=b-c.
What is the Division Property of Equality?
If a=b and c isn’t 0, then a/c=b/c.
What is the Symmetric Property of Equality?
If a=b, then b=a.
What is the Segment Addition Postulate?
If B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC.
What is the Substitution Property of Equality?
If a=b, then b can be substituted for a.
What is the Reflexive Property of Equality?
A=A
What is the Symmetric Property of Congruence?
If A=B, then B=A (Mathematical Figures)
What is the Reflexive Property of Congruence?
Figure A=Figure A
What is the Transitive Property of Congruence?
If A=B and B=C and A=C (Mathematical Figures)
What is a Proof?
