Question

identify the property of equality used to justify each statement. part 1 of 3 (a) 12 + 49 = 12 + 49 reflexive property of equality transitive property of equality symmetric property of equality

Explanation:

The reflexive property of equality states that a number is always equal to itself. In the statement \(12 + 49=12 + 49\), the left - hand side is identical to the right - hand side, which is an example of the reflexive property. The transitive property is used when \(a = b\) and \(b = c\) implies \(a = c\), and the symmetric property is used when \(a = b\) implies \(b = a\). Here, neither of those apply.

Answer:

Reflexive Property of Equality
