Prove the Addition Property of Equality using a = 5 and b = 5
Equality means equal
Addition Property of Equality Definition:
For three numbers a, b, and c:
If a = b, then a + c = b + c
Plug in a = 5 and c = 6, we set b = 5:
a + c = 5 + 6
b + c = 5 + 6
Evaluating, we get:
a + c = 11
b + c = 11
Final Answer
Since 11 = 11,
we have proven the Addition Property of Equality
using a and b = 5 and c = 6.
