Question 153820: the problem is:
________
M N O P
I am given that MN is equal to OP i have to prove that NP is equal to MO and have to give the steps and reasons. So far I have: 1. MN = OP given
2. OP + ON = NP segment addition
MN + NO = MO
3. MO = NP substitution
But, I think I have missed a step. Have I ?

You might add ON=NO
Then add equals to equals to get the conclusion you need.
