Properties of Equality Congruence

1. The document discusses the algebraic properties of equality, which describe how equations can be manipulated while maintaining equivalency. It describes nine properties: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, associative, commutative, distributive, identity, and inverse. 2. The properties allow equations to be simplified by adding or subtracting the same quantity to both sides, multiplying or dividing both sides by the same non-zero quantity, and distributing terms. 3. Examples are provided to demonstrate how each property can be applied to justify the steps taken when solving equations.

AXIOMS OF EQUALITY

What are Algebraic Properties of
Equality?
• In mathematics equality is a relationship between two
mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities
have the same value.

• Algebraic Properties of Equality help us to justify how we


solve equations and inequalities.

1. Addition Property of Equality
• This property tells us that adding the same
number to each side of an equation gives
us an equivalent equation.
If a – b = c,
then a – b + b = c + b

2. Subtraction Property of Equality
• This property tells us that subtracting the
same number to each side of an equation
gives us an equivalent equation.
If a + b = c,
then a + b - b = c - b

3. Multiplication Property of Equality
• This property tells us that multiplying the
same (non-zero) number to each side of
an equation gives us an equivalent
equation.
If a = c, (and b≠ 0),
b
then a • b = c • b Image from http://schools.iclipart.com

b
4. Division Property of Equality
• This property tells us that dividing the same
(non-zero) number to each side of an
equation gives us an equivalent equation.

If a • b = c (and b ≠ 0),
then a • b = c
b b

5. Associative Property
of Addition or Multiplication
• Keep the same order, just move the
parenthesis.
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
(ab)c = a(bc)

6. Commutative Property
of Addition or Multiplication
When you add or multiply two numbers,
you will get the same answer when you
switch the order.
a+b=b+a
ab = ba

7. Distributive Property
• This property “distributes” a value,
using multiplication, to each number in
the parenthesis.
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Everyone in this problem got an “a”

8. Identity Property
The number you can add or multiply by
and still get the same number.
a+0=a
a•1=a

Image from http://schools.iclipart.com


9. Inverse Property
What number can you add to a and get 0?
a + (-a) = 0

What number can you multiply a by and get 1?


a(1/a) = 1

Justify each step by stating the property that
was used.

6x + 9 = 51

1) 6x = 42 1) Subtraction Property
of Equality
2) x = 7
2) Division Property of
Equality

Justify each step by stating the property that
was used.

3(2x – 5) = 63

1) 6x – 15 = 63 1) Distributive Property

2) 6x = 78 2) Addition Property of
Equality
3) x = 13
3) Division Property of
Equality
