The addition property says that if you add the same number (or subtract the same number)from both sides of the eqaution you do not change the equation.
So to solve and equation you must get the unknown by itself, so you need to use this property, often along with the multiplication property.
For example if X -5 = 3 you can use addition property to add 5 to both sides:
X - 5 + 5 = 3 + 5
X = 8

How is the addition property of an equation used?
So if the addition property is just that adding something to both sides of an equation makes it stay equal, then this is exactly what it is used for. a = b, so a+ c = b +c
How is distributive property used when solving an equation?
When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
What is the addition property used in this equation 9 1 39 1 3?
x-16=36
Addition property of equality?
If x=y then x+z=y+z or If x=y and a=b then x+a=y+b The formal name for the property of equality that allows one to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation. This, along with the multiplicative property of equality, is one of the most commonly used properties for solving equations.
What property is used to solve the equation?
It depends on the equation that is being solved.
When solving equations how do you justify your steps?
You should state the property used, such as distributive property of multiplication over addition or addition property of equality, etc.

What property is used in the first step in solving this equation for x?
Insufficient information has been supplied to enable a satisfactory answer to this question to be provided.
What is the addition property used in this equation 9 1 39 1 3?
x-16=36
Should any other factor be accounted for when solving an equation?
Different equations call for different steps to be followed when solving them. Exponents, parenthesis, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are all generally used.
Do you simplify while using the distributive property to write an expression?
the distributive property is only used when simplifying expressions or solving an equation: to write an expression just translate the question into symbols and letters - you don't need to use the distributive property or any other property for that

How is the multiplication or division property of equality used in the elimination method and are the properties always needed?
If you multiply or divide an equation by any non-zero number, the two sides of the equation remain equal. This property is almost always needed for solving equations in which the variables have coefficients other than 1.
What property is used to solve the equation?
It depends on the equation that is being solved.
What method is used for solving a rational equation?
Methods vary considerably depending upon the number of powers in the equation. For example, the method for solving cubics is quite different to solving quadratics etc... It's not really possible to generalise to one technique.
