Question

Which statement is an example of the Addition Property of Equality? Use the given property to complete the statement.

Question 17 options:

p = q

If p = q, then p x q = q x s

If p = q, then p + s = q + s

If p = q, then p - s = q - s

Answer 1

If p=q, then p+s=q+s
Example:
p=2
2+s=2+s since p and q are the same

Answer 2

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given that p = q

Here we are asked about addition property.

Option A:

p x q = q x s

Here we are using multiplication sign, this is Multiplication Property of Equality

Option B:

p + s = q + s

Here we are using multiplication sign, this is Addition Property of Equality

Option C:

p - s = q - s

Here we are using multiplication sign, this is Subtraction Property of Equality

Option B is the correct answer.
