5. What does the Reflexive Property state?

The Reflexive Property states that a value is equal to zero.

The Reflexive Property states that a value is always less than itself.

The property statement that means that the value is equal to itself. Ex: x=x or 5=5

The Reflexive Property states that a value is equal to one.

The Reflexive Property simply states that any value is equal to itself, regardless of its actual numerical value. It is a fundamental property in mathematics.

Explanation

The Reflexive Property simply states that any value is equal to itself, regardless of its actual numerical value. It is a fundamental property in mathematics.

6. What is the Symmetric Property in relation to Equality?

If a = b, then a < b

If a = b, then a + b = 0

A property of Equality that means if something is equal to something else it would be equal vice versa Ex: a=b then b=a

If a = b, then a * b = a

The correct answer explains that the Symmetric Property of Equality implies that if two quantities are equal, they remain equal even when their positions are interchanged. While the incorrect answers fail to capture this key concept and provide incorrect interpretations of the Symmetric Property.

Explanation

The correct answer explains that the Symmetric Property of Equality implies that if two quantities are equal, they remain equal even when their positions are interchanged. While the incorrect answers fail to capture this key concept and provide incorrect interpretations of the Symmetric Property.

7. What is the Substitution Property?

Property that involves multiplying two quantities while keeping their values the same.

Property that allows for the addition of quantities in an expression.

Property that involves switching the order of numbers in an equation.

Property that lets you change out quantities for each other into an expression as long as they are equal.

The Substitution Property specifically deals with replacing quantities with each other in an expression as long as they are equal, allowing for simplification and manipulation of mathematical equations.

Explanation

The Substitution Property specifically deals with replacing quantities with each other in an expression as long as they are equal, allowing for simplification and manipulation of mathematical equations.

8. What is the Distributive Property?

A property where you multiply two numbers together. Ex: 2 x 2 = 4.

A property where you add two numbers together. Ex: 2 + 2 = 4.

A property where you subtract two numbers. Ex: 5 - 2 = 3.

A property where you distribute one number to all others. Ex: 2 (X+2) = 5X + 5 x 2

The Distributive Property involves distributing one number to all others in a mathematical expression, not adding, multiplying, or subtracting.

Explanation

The Distributive Property involves distributing one number to all others in a mathematical expression, not adding, multiplying, or subtracting.

9. What do two angles that are supplementary do?

Equal 90 degrees

Two angles that equal 180 degrees. Usually in triangles

Subtract from each other

Are parallel to each other

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees, commonly found in triangles where the sum of all angles is 180 degrees.

Explanation

Two angles that equal 120 degrees / An obtuse angle.

Two angles that equal 45 degrees / An acute angle.

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees, creating a right angle. This concept is often used in geometry to describe the relationship between two angles in relation to a right angle.

Explanation

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees, creating a right angle. This concept is often used in geometry to describe the relationship between two angles in relation to a right angle.

11. What are vertical angles?

Angles that share a common side.

Angles formed by parallel lines.

Opposite angles made by two touching lines.

Angles that have the same measure.
