converse
if q, then p
counterexample
disproves a statement
are conditionals always written with the if clause first?
no
biconditional
p if and only if q
inverse
if not p, then not q
contrapositive
if not q, then not p
addition property of equality
if a = b and c = d then a + c = b + d
add same thing to each side
subtraction property of equality
if a = b and c = d then a - c = b - d
subtract same thing from both sides
multiplication property of equality
if a = b then ca = cb
multiply the same thing on each side
division property of equality
a = b and c does not equal 0 then a/c = b/c
divide the same thing on each side
substitution property of equality
if a = b then either a or b may be substituted for the other in any equation
reflexive property of equality
a = a
symmetric property of equality
if a = b then b = a
transitive property of equality
if a = b and b = c then a = c
