Question

Identify n in the equation below. Then name the property that is used.

8*n=8*5

A.) 1, Identity property of multiplication
B.) 5, Reflexive property of equality
C.) 5, Symmetric property of equality
D.) 1, Multiplicative Inverse Property

Answer 1

B. 5, REFLEXIVE PROPERTY OF EQUALITY

In reflexive property of equality, it states that a = a.

In this instance, the is represented by 8*5. Since it has a reflexive property,
the n  in 8*n = 8*5 is automatically equal to 5.
