And what about transitive? Is that a=b implies a+c=b+c?
ETA: Of course I could google it. But I like talking to you people!
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Transitive is a=b and b=c -> a=c (or with < or > replacing the =s)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Equality is transitive because a = b and b = c implies that a = c.

Okay, that's what I thought. So then what property is involved in the proof that a+z = b+z => a=b?

Ignoring the disturbing math talk, to say g'night. I'll be back tomorrow morning!

Hey. New board.
So then what property is involved in the proof that a+z = b+z => a=b?
Quite.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So then what property is involved in the proof that a+z = b+z => a=b?
I think that's the inverse property, since what you're doing there is adding the inverse of z to each side.

G'night, Erin!
Looking again at the question, I think they were looking for associative, for the step from (a+z)+-z=(b+z)+-z to a+(z+-z)=b+(z+-z). Interesting. I wouldn't have thought to make that two steps, but I guess it makes sense.
Anyway, thank you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dear Person,
If you can't help me with what I asked for, please call me and let me know. The reason I came to you, instead of my usual contact, was becuse I needed an answer today. If I wanted an answer tomorrow, I would have waited for my contact to get back in.
Dickhead.

Workweek Bunny Update:
Apparently the bunnies don't appear until after 3PM. I didn't see any until I was halfway done with my walk, and then I saw two. The work day I go for a walk and not see any bunnies will be a letdown.
