Question

The transitive property of equality states that:

if a = b, then b = a
if a = b, then ac = bc
if a = b and b = c, then a = c
if a = b and c = c, then a + b = b + c

Answer 1

the transitive property of equality states that if a = b, then b = c, then a = c.

hope that helps, God bless!

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is

(C) if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct statement for the transitive property of equality.

We know that

if x, y and z are three real numbers, then the transitive property of equality states that

if x = y and y = z, then x = z.

So, for reals a, b and c, the property states that

if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
