Explain which property, either the Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive or Substitution, is shown in the following example: (Explaining means just identifying the property is not sufficient - you must explain WHY that is the property you have identified in the given example.)If: x+2=y And: y=4−z Then: x+2=4−z(2 points)
Transitive property is shown in this example. The transitive property states that if a=b and b=c, then a=c.
In this case, the first equation states that x+2=y, and the second equation states that y=4-z. By substituting the value of y from the first equation into the second equation, we get x+2=4-z. Thus, by applying the transitive property, we can conclude that x+2=4-z.
