X= x
This illustrates the associative property.
By the reflexive property of equality, a number is equal to itself: a = a. For example, 2 = 2, 3 = 3, -3/4 = -3/4 etc. Since x is a variable that represent numbers, then x is equal to itself: x = x. Suppose that x = x is a false statement. If x = 1, by the substitution property of equality, 1 can replace x. So we have 1 = 1 which is a true satement. Therefore, x = x cannot be a false statement. Thus, x = x is true. If: x = x Then: x-x = 0
identify the property and equation that satisfies the following statement: the solution of an equation is x=-2.
No, the inverse property of multiplication results in an answer of 1 when inverses are multiplied together. The reciprocal of a number represents the inverse of a number. When a number or term is multiplied by its reciprocal, the result is one. 4 x 1/4 = 1 a x 1/a = 1 5 and 1/5 illustrates the inverse property of multiplication.
