Properties of Real Numbers ⸱ Practice

Examples 1–3
Identify the property of equality used to justify each statement.
1. If 4 + 17 = 21, then 21 = 4 + 17. 2. x + 3 = x + 3

3. If 16 = 9 + 7, then 9 + 7 = 16. 4. If 6 + 2 = 4 + 4 and 4 + 4 = 8, then 6 + 2 = 8.

Use the given property of equality to complete each statement.


5. If 23 + 14 = 37, then 37 = 23 + 6. If a + 5 = b + 3 and a + 5 = 12, then b + 3 =
Symmetric Property of Equality Transitive Property of Equality

7. If 34 = 19 + 15, then 19 + 15 = 8. b + 5 + 12 =
Symmetric Property of Equality Reflexive Property of Equality

9. TOLL ROADS Some toll highways assess tolls based on where a car
entered and exited. The table shows the highway tolls for a car entering
and exiting at a variety of exits. Assume that the toll for the reverse
direction is the same.

Exit 8 to Exit 15?

b. What property would you use to determine the toll?
