Question

(c) if ( x + 3 = 6 + 2 ), and ( 6 + 2 = 8 ), then ( x + 3 = 8 ).

( \bigcirc ) symmetric property of equality
( \bigcirc ) transitive property of equality
( \bigcirc ) reflexive property of equality

Explanation:

The transitive property of equality states that if $a = b$ and $b = c$, then $a = c$. Here, $a=x+3$, $b=6+2$, and $c=8$, which matches the structure of the property.

Answer:

B. Transitive Property of Equality
