Question

which property can be used to show that if 3a = 4b, then 4b = 3a?
a) substitution property of equality
b) transitive property of equality
c) reflexive property of equality
d) symmetric property of equality

Explanation:

The symmetric property of equality states that if a = b, then b = a. Here, since 3a = 4b, then 4b = 3a follows this property. The substitution property is for replacing a quantity with its equal. The transitive property is if a = b and b = c, then a = c. The reflexive property is a = a.

Answer:

D. Symmetric Property of Equality
