What do you need to do to obtain n=56 from n-17=39?

Addition Property of Equality

Practice makes perfect
Let's examine the given statement and determine the property that justifies the statement. If n-17=39, then n=56.

In order to obtain n=56 from n-17=39, we add 17 to both sides of the equation. n-17 + 17=39 + 17 ⇒ n=56 Therefore, Addition Property justifies this statement. If a=b, then a + c=b + c.
