Properties of Equality
•Properties are rules that
allow you to balance,
manipulate, and solve
equations
Addition Property of
Equality
•Adding the same number to both
sides of an equation does not
change the equality of the
equation.
•If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
•Ex: x=y, so x+2=y+2
Subtraction Property of
Equality
•Subtracting the same number to
both sides of an equation does not
change the equality of the
equation.
•If a = b, then a – c = b – c.
•Ex: x = y, so x – 4 = y – 4
Multiplication Property of
Equality
•Multiplying both sides of the
equation by the same number,
other than 0, does not change the
equality of the equation.
•If a = b, then ac = bc.
•Ex: x = y, so 3x = 3y
Division Property of
Equality
•Dividing both sides of the equation
by the same number, other than 0,
does not change the equality of
the equation.
•If a = b, then a/c = b/c.
•Ex: x = y, so x/7 = y/7
Reflexive Property of
Equality
•A number is equal to itself.
(Think mirror)
•a = a
•Ex: 4 = 4
Symmetric Property of
Equality
•If numbers are equal, they will still
be equal if the order is changed.
•If a = b, then b = a.
•Ex: x = 4, then 4 = x
Transitive Property of
Equality
•If numbers are equal to the same
number, then they are equal to
each other.
•If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
•Ex: If x = 8 and y = 8, then x = y
Substitution Property of
Equality
•If numbers are equal, then substituting
one in for the another does not change
the equality of the equation.
•If a = b, then b may be substituted for
a in any expression containing a.
•Ex: x = 5, then y = x + 6 is the same
as y = 5 + 6.
Other Properties
Commutative Property
•Changing the order of addition or
multiplication does not matter.
•“Commutative” comes from
“commute” or “move around”, so
the Commutative Property is the
one that refers to moving stuff
around.
Commutative Property
•Addition:
a+b=b+a

•Ex: 1 + 9 = 9 + 1
Commutative Property
•Multiplication:
a·b=b·a

•Ex: 8 · 6 = 6 · 8
Associative Property
•The change in grouping of three or
more terms/factors does not
change their sum or product.
•“Associative” comes from
“associate” or “group”, so the
Associative Property is the one that
refers to grouping.
Associative Property
•Addition:
a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

•Ex: 1 + (7 + 9) = (1 + 7) + 9
Associative Property
•Multiplication:
a · (b · c) = (a · b) · c

•Ex: 8 · (3 · 6) = (8 · 3) · 6
Distributive Property
•The product of a number and a
sum is equal to the sum of the
individual products of terms.
Distributive Property
• a · (b + c) = a · b + a · c

•Ex: 5 · (x + 6) = 5 · x + 5 · 6
Additive Identity Property
•The sum of any number and zero is
always the original number.
•Adding nothing does not change
the original number.
•a + 0 = a
•Ex: 4 + 0 = 4
Multiplicative Identity
Property
•The product of any number and
one is always the original number.
•Multiplying by one does not
change the original number.
•a · 1 = a
•Ex: 2 · 1 = 2
Additive Inverse Property
•The sum of a number and its
inverse (or opposite) is equal to
zero.
•a + (-a) = 0
•Ex: 2 + (-2) = 0
Multiplicative Inverse
Property
•The product of any number and its
reciprocal is equal to 1.
a b
• b • a =1
•Ex: 4 • 5 =1
5 4
Multiplicative Property of
Zero
•The product of any number and
zero is always zero.
•a · 0 = 0
•Ex: 298 · 0 = 0
Exponential Property of
Equality
• a = a , then b = c
b c

x 4
•Ex: 2 = 2 , then x = 4
