Properties of Equality
same value
Substitution
Property of Equality
You can replace one thing with
another of EQUAL value
a(b + c) = ab + ac AND
Distributive Property
ab + ac = a(b + c)
Properties of Equality for Real Numbers
Reflexive Property
of Equality
Symmetric Property
of Equality
Transitive Property
of Equality
A number is equal to itself.
a=a
You can switch the left and
right sides of an equation
If a = b then b = a
If a = b and b = c
then a = c
