Choose the definition, theorem, or postulate that justifies the statement.

A. Subtraction Property of Equality
B. Definition of Midpoint
C. Segment Addition Postulate
D. Symmetric Property (of= or≅)
E. Reflexive Property (of= or≅)
F. Transitive Property (of= or≅)
G. Definition of Congruence
H. Substitution Property
I. Addition Property of Equality
J. Multiplication Property of Equality
K. Division Property of Equality

Answer 1

Answer:

Substitution property

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of given options, the option that answers the question is

H. Substitution property

This is so because replacing a term or a value with another implies substitution, as shown when.

WV was substituted for TU in RS+TU=XY.

None of the other options A-G & I-K justify the given expression and operation.

Hence, we can conclude that the answer to the question is the Substitution property
