2-6 Algebraic Proofp. 136
You used postulates about points, lines, and planes to write paragraph proofs.
•Use algebra to write two-column proofs.
•Use properties of equality to write geometric proofs.
Proofs
A proof is a logical argument in which each statement you make is supported by a statement that is accepted as true.It can be written as:A paragraphTwo column or formalFlow chart.

Algebraic Proofs
You just saw a table summarizing the properties of real numbers you studied in Algebra.Now you will use these properties in Algebraic Proofs.An algebraic proof is a proof that is made up of a series of algebraic statements.
Solve 2(5 – 3a) – 4(a + 7) = 92.Algebraic Steps Properties
2(5 – 3a) – 4(a + 7) = 92 Original equation
10 – 6a – 4a – 28 = 92 Distributive Property
–18 – 10a = 92 Substitution Property
–18 – 10a + 18 = 92 + 18 Addition Property
Justify Each Step When Solving an Equation
Answer: a = –11
–10a = 110 Substitution Property Division Property
a = –11 Substitution Property
A. a = 12
B. a = –37
C. a = –7
D. a = 7
Solve –3(a + 3) + 5(3 – a) = –50.
Begin by stating what is given and what you are to prove.
2. d – 5 = 20t 2. Addition Property of Equality
Statements ReasonsProof:
1. Given 1. d = 20t + 5
4. 4. Symmetric Property of Equality
3. 3. Division Property of Equality= t
*Hint* always start with GIVENAlways end with PROVE
