Demonstrate the Transitive Property

Define the Transitive Property:

If a = b and b = c
then a = c

Set a = b and b = c

Substitute values

Since a = 3, then set b = 3

Since b = 3, then set c = 3

Substitute more values

Since a = b, substitute b for a
a = c = 3

Since b = c, substitute c for b
a = c = 3
