For all real numbers, if two numbers are equal to the same number, then they are equal to each other. Let a,b, and c be real numbers.
If a=b and b=c, then a=c.
This property can be used together with other Properties of Equality to solve equations.
{x=5y−305y−30=20⇒x=20
Since this property is an axiom, it does not need a proof to be accepted as true. The Transitive Property of Equality also holds true if a,b, and c are complex numbers.
