Question

Select the statement that best justifies the conclusion based on the given information.if x 5 = 15, then x = 10.a addition property of equalityb subtraction property of equalityc multiplication property of equalityd substitution

Answer 1

Option b is correct

Subtraction property of equality

Explanation:

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation i.e

if a = b

then;

a-c = b-c

As per the statement:

Given information:

If
`x+5 = 15`

By subtraction property of equality:

Subtract 5 from both sides we have;

then;

x = 10

Therefore, the Subtraction property of equality justifies the conclusion based on the given information.
