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.
