Name the property of equality that justifies the following statement. If p = q, then p - r = q - r A) Multiplication Property. B) Subtraction Property. C) Symmetric Property. D) Reflexive Property

From the given question:

If,

p = q

Then,

p - r = q - r

Here,

The commutative property of subtraction has been used.

But,

Subtraction is not commutative over real numbers since we can't say that a - b = b - a for all real numbers a and b.

Hence,

The right answer is:

B) Subtraction Property.

Subtraction property
