Exercise 3 Page 287

Notice that both equations are the same but in the reverse order.

Symmetric Property

Practice makes perfect
To identify the Property of Equality being demonstrated by the given equations, we should first identify the operation being performed.

If 5=x, then x=5. In this case, we are given two equations where both have the same content but are written in the reverse order. This demonstrates the Symmetric Property of Equality.
