Question

Which property is being illustrated? If x = y + 4 and y + 4 = -22, then x = -22 (1 point) Responses Reflexive Property Reflexive Property Symmetric Property Symmetric Property Transitive Property Transitive Property Substitution Property Substitution Property

Answer 1

The property being illustrated in this situation is the **Substitution Property**. This property states that if two expressions are equal, one can be substituted for the other in any equation or expression. In this case, since \( y + 4 = -22 \), you can substitute \(-22\) for \( y + 4\) in the equation \( x = y + 4\), resulting in \( x = -22\).
