Select the postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated. 3 + 2 5 and 3 + 2 = 5 are not both true. addition postulate of inequality the multiplication postulate of inequality the symmetric postulate of equality the transitive postulate of equality comparison postulate the reflexive postulate of equality the transitive postulate of inequality

comparison postulate.

Explanation.

The given inequality might be either 3 + 2 > 5 or 2 + 2 < 5. The reasoning and the result is the same for effects of this question.

The comparison postulate states that one and only one of the following statements is true: a = b, a > b, a < b.

This is, a is either equal, or greater than or less than b, but not equal and greater, or equal and less, or greater and less. One and only one of them is true.

So, since  3 + 2 = 5, the comparison postulate assures that the inequality cannot both be true. This is 3 + 2 is equal to 5, and not greater or less than 5.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
