Question

name the property that justifies each statement.

  1. ∠z ≅ ∠z
  2. 2(3x + 5) = 6x + 10
  3. if 12x = 84, then x = 7.
  4. if \\(\overline{st} \cong \overline{qr}\\), then \\(\overline{qr} \cong \overline{st}\\).
  5. if \\(m\angle a = 15\\), then \\(3m\angle a = 45\\).
  6. \\(xy = xy\\)
  7. if \\(3x + 14 = 80\\), then \\(3x = 66\\).
  8. if \\(kl = mn\\), then \\(mn = kl\\).
  9. if \\(2x + y = 5\\) and \\(x = y\\), then \\(2x + x = 5\\).
  10. if \\(ab - bc = 12\\), then \\(ab = 12 + bc\\).
  11. if \\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 2\\) and \\(\angle 2 \cong \angle 3\\), then \\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 3\\).

Response

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.

Answer:

Reflexive Property of Congruence

Problem 6: $2(3x + 5) = 6x + 10$
