Transitive is a=b and b=c -> a=c (or with < or > replacing the =s)
Hil is very clever. All I can think of when I see "commutative principle" is "What's purple and commutes?"

And that may well summarize What I Learned in Abstract Algebra.
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!

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.
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.
We've had lots and lots of bunnies lately too. Every time Bobby sees one out the window he makes me come and look. And it is often, and yet he doesn't tire of this.
