Question

Which property justifies this statement?

Answer 1

D. Transitive Property of Equality

Answer 2

Answer:

option D

Transitive property of equality

Explanation:

Transitive property of equality justifies the statement:

x=y+2 , y+2=8 then;  x= 8

Transitive property of equality states that if we have two things that are equal to each other and the second thing is equal to a third thing then, the first thing is also equal to the third thing.

In mathematical terms: if a=b and b=c then a=c.

As per the given statement:

a = x , b= y+2 and c= 8

then,

a=b i.e, x=y+2 and

b=c i.e, y+2 =8 then

by using transitive property of equality, we get;

a=c i.e, x=8
