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.

Justification.

Although the comparison sign of the inequality is missing, the answer may be perfectly reasoned and properly answered.

The inequality might be either 3 + 2 > 5 or 2 + 2 < 5, in either case the answer is the same.

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

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

So, if  3 + 2 = 5, the comparison postulate assures that  it cannot be true both the equality and the inequality.
