What it states
If 3x – 7 = 14 then 3x = 21
IF 5x + 5 = 10, then 5x = 5
If ½ x = 3 then x = 6
If 5x = 20, then x = 4.
If a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any equation
or expression.
If AB + CD = EF and AB = 10, then 10 + CD = EF by
substitution
If a = b and b=c, then a=c.
If m<1 = m<2 and m<2 = m<3, then m<1 = m<3
If a  b, and b  c, then a  c.
If m<1  m<2 and m<2  m<3, then m<1  m<3
a=a

AB AB
If a=b then b = a.
If  CD , then CD  AB
AB
An angle whose measure is less than 90
An angle whose measure is greater than 90 but less
than 180
An angle whose measure is exactly 90
An angles whose measure is exactly 180
The sum of two angle measures is 90
The sum of two angle measures is 180
Angles that have the same measure
If <1  <2, then m<1 = m<2 (measures are equal)
Divides an angle into two  angles
Vertical angles are 
If two angles form a linear pair, then they are
a) supplementary
b) sum of their measures is 180
If C is in the interior of <AOD, then
m<AOC + m<COD = m<AOD
Coplanar lines that do not intersect
Two lines that intersect to form right angles
Segments that have the same length
If AB ,
 CD then AB = CD (lengths are equal)
Point that divides a segment into two  segments
A segments, ray, or line that intersects a segment at
its midpoint.
If three points A, B, and C are collinear and B is
between A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

If two lines are parallel, then corresponding angles
are 
If corresponding angles are , then the lines are
parallel.
If two lines are parallel, then alternate interior
angles are 
If alternate interior angles are , then the lines are
parallel.
If two lines are parallel, then the alternate exterior
angles are 
If alternate exterior angles are , then the lines are
parallel.
If two lines are parallel, then the same-side interior
angles are supplementary.
If same-side interior angles are supplementary, then
the lines are parallel.
