identify what axiom of equality is illustrated in each item if a = b, then If x=y, then ax = ay. if a = b, then a = bn If a = b, then Va = Vb Ifx = y, then I + 2 = y + 2. If x = y, then x - 2 = y - 2 If a = b and b = c, then a = c. If x= 2 and y = x - 1, then y = 2-1 = 1. If Mis the midpoint of AB, then AB = AM + MB.
