  1. Equations & inequalities Properties

  2. What are equations? • Equations are mathematical sentences that state two expressions are equal. • Example: 2x – 5 = 3(x + 4)

  3. What are the properties of equality? • In order to solve equations in, you must perform operations that maintain equality on both sides of the equation using the properties of equality. • Properties of Equality • Reflexive property of equality • Symmetric property of equality • Transitive property of equality • Addition property of equality • Subtraction property of equality • Multiplication property of equality • Division property of equality • Substitution property of equality

  4. Properties of equality Reflexive Property of Equality Symmetric Property of Equality • a = a • A number is equal to itself. • -5 = -5 • If a = b, then b = a. • If numbers are equal, they will still be equal if the order is changed. • If x = 2, then 2 = x

  5. Properties of equality Transitive Property of Equality Addition Property of Equality • If a = b and b = c, then a = c. • If numbers are equal to the same number, then they are equal to each other. • If a = b, then a + c = b + c. • Adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equality of the equation. • x = 6 x + 2 = 6 + 2

  6. Properties of equality Subtraction Property of Equality Multiplication Property of Equality • If a = b, then a − c = b − c. • Subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equality of the equation. • x = 6 x − 2 = 6 − 2 • If a = b and c ≠ 0, then a • c = b • c. • Multiplying both sides of the equation by the same number, other than 0, does not change the equality of the equation. • x = 6 x • 2 = 6 • 2

  7. Properties of equality Division Property of Equality Substitution Property of Equality • If a = b and c ≠ 0, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c. • Dividing both sides of the equation by the same number, other than 0, does not change the equality of the equation. • If x = 6 then • If a = b, then b may be substituted for a in any expression containing a. • If two numbers are equal, then substituting one in for another does not change the equality of the equation.
