Question
name the property that justifies each statement.
- ∠z ≅ ∠z
- 2(3x + 5) = 6x + 10
- if 12x = 84, then x = 7.
- if \\(\overline{st} \cong \overline{qr}\\), then \\(\overline{qr} \cong \overline{st}\\).
- if \\(m\angle a = 15\\), then \\(3m\angle a = 45\\).
- \\(xy = xy\\)
- if \\(3x + 14 = 80\\), then \\(3x = 66\\).
- if \\(kl = mn\\), then \\(mn = kl\\).
- if \\(2x + y = 5\\) and \\(x = y\\), then \\(2x + x = 5\\).
- if \\(ab - bc = 12\\), then \\(ab = 12 + bc\\).
- if \\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 2\\) and \\(\angle 2 \cong \angle 3\\), then \\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 3\\).
Let's solve each problem by identifying the property that justifies the statement:
Problem 5: $\angle Z \cong \angle Z$
Step1: Recall properties of congruence.
The Reflexive Property of Congruence states that any geometric figure (angle, segment, etc.) is congruent to itself. So $\angle Z \cong \angle Z$ is justified by the Reflexive Property of Congruence.
Step1: Recall algebraic properties.
The Distributive Property states that $a(b + c)=ab + ac$. Here, $a = 2$, $b=3x$ and $c = 5$. So $2(3x+5)=2\times3x+2\times5 = 6x + 10$, which is the Distributive Property.
Step1: Recall properties of equality.
The Division Property of Equality states that if $a=b$, then $\frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}$ (where $c
eq0$). Here, we divide both sides of $12x = 84$ by $12$: $\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{84}{12}$, so $x = 7$. So it is the Division Property of Equality.
