Question

Select the postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated. If 5 = x + 2, then x + 2 = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Symmetric property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The symmetric property allows you to swap sides of the equation and be assured the equation is still true:

If x = y, then y = x — symmetric property.

Answer 2

Answer:

the symmetric property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 = x + 2, then x + 2 = 5. both have an equation so it represents an equation.

Reflexive property of equality states that  a=a

Symmetric property of equality states that

If c=a+b then a+b= c

In the given statement

If $5=x+2$ then $x+2=5$

The given statement represents the symmetric property of equality
