The property that allows the statement 10 = y to be written y = 10 is:

Symmetric

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for any set A. if a and b are two elements of the set A.

Then if a is related to b by some relation then by the symmetric property b must be related to a by the same property.

Here 10 is related to y by the equality relation.

i.e. 10=y

Hence, by the symmetric property we have that y must be related to 10 by the same equality relation.

i.e.   y=10

Option 4 - Symmetric property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Statement 10=y to be written y=10.

To find : Select the property that allows the statement?

Solution :

According to statement, 10=y to be written y=10

We know, If there are two elements x and y of a set such that x is related to  y and y related to x shows the symmetric property.

or If x=y then symmetric property states that y=x.

Applying symmetric property in statement,

If 10=y then symmetric property states that y=10.

Therefore, The required property is Symmetric.

So, Option 4 is correct.

Hello!

This is the symmetric property

Hope this helps!

If a = b , then b = a

It's symmetric property of equality.

symmetric (if 10 = y, then y = 10)
