Subtraction property of equality is used when u have 2 sides with an equal sign in the middle and u want to subtract from both sides.
Example :
2x + 3 = 7 ....subtract 3 from both sides
2x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
When subtracting real numbers..if the numbers are on the same side of the equal sign...u can just subtract on that one side
Example :
2x = 7 - 3
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
Use the formula for the area of a triangle, and fill in the given information.
.. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. 36 in^2 = (1/2)*b*(9 in)
.. (72 in^2)/(9 in) = b . . . . . . . . multiply by 2, divide by 9 in
.. 8 in = b
The base is "none of the above", 8 inches.

This question has a couple of problems:
.. 1) area is not measured in "inches"; it is measured in "square inches."
.. 2) ALL of the offered answer choices are INCORRECT.
The first one is not equivalent. The second one is equivalent.
