A number sentence that does NOT contain a variable

24

One value that makes the variable true
25
What is an equality or an equation? Example: 3+2=5 What number plus six equals thirteen? x+6=13
A number sentence in which expressions to the left of the equals sign is equivalent to the expressions on the right of the equals sign.
26
What are axioms?
The 3 equations that are true for all numbers, laws for numbers. Can be called properties of numbers or properties of equality.
27
What does the Reflective Axiom or Reflective Property state?
Any quantity is equal to itself. | Example: A=A
28
What does the Symmetric Axiom, or Symmetric Property state?
If one quantity is equivalent to another, you can switch which side of the equals sign they are on. Example: If A=B, then B=A
29
What does the Transitive Axiom, or Transitive Property state?
It two quantities are equal to a third quantity, then they are equal to each other. Example: If A=B and B=C, then A=C
30
What does the Substitution Principle state, and what properties does it apply to?
The substitution principle states that for any numbers A & B, if A=B, then A and B may be substituted for each other. This applies to the Symmetric and Transitive Properties
31
