Question 509542: if i have a proof with with the given being AL=SK and i am trying to prove AS=LK and the statements are
1 AL=SK
2 LS=LS
3 AL+LS=SK+LS
4 AL+LS=AS
5 SK+LS=LK
6 AS=LK
what would be the reasons for all the statements?

1. Given
2. This is pretty trivial. Sometimes called the reflexive property.
3. We can add LS to both sides (addition property of equality).
4. If AL, LS are collinear then this is true.
5. If SK, LS are collinear then this is true.
6. Take #3, replace AL+AS with AS and SK+LS with LK.
