Question

Select the answer that represents the transitive property



a
14+x=x+14

b
(2+4)+9=2+(4+9)

c
If y<6 and 6<x, then y<x

Answer 1

The transitive property states that if one quantity is equal to a second quantity, and that second quantity is equal to a third quantity, then the first quantity is also equal to the third quantity.

Among the provided options, the correct answer that represents the transitive property is:

**c** If \( y < 6 \) and \( 6 < x \), then \( y < x \).

This statement follows the transitive property of inequalities.
