A postulate is assumed to be a fact and used to derive conclusions. However, there is no assurance that the postulate is itself true and so all the derived conclusions may depend on a proposition that is not necessarily true. Euclid's fifth, or parallel) postulate in geometry is a notable example.

What are the kinds of axioms?
An Axiom is a mathematical statement that is assumed to be true. There are five basic axioms of algebra. The axioms are the reflexive axiom, symmetric axiom, transitive axiom, additive axiom and multiplicative axiom.
What is the difference between axiom and property in algebra?
properties are based on axioms
Through a given point on a given line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line what does it define?
Playfair Axiom
Describe the role of axiom systems in algebra?
An axiom in algebra is the stepping stone to solving equations. In order to solve and equation you know how to use the commutative, associative, distributive, transitive and equalilty axiom to solve the basic steps. For example: if you want an equation in the form y = mx + b, given 6x - 3y = 9 you must subtract 6x from both sides giving: -3y = 9-6x. Then you divide by -3 to get y = -3 + 2x. But the equation is not in the from y = mx + b. So we use the commutative property to switch the -3 + 2x and make it 2x - 3. Now it become y = 2x -3. and it is in the form y = mx + b. This manipulation could not be perfromed unless tahe student knew the commutative property. Once the axiom is know the algebraic manipulations fall into place.
What if -x plus x equals 0x?
This is always true! According to the Additive Inverse Axiom -X+X always equals 0 which is equivalent to 0X.
