This document discusses reasoning in algebra and geometry. It provides examples of solving equations with justifications for each step. Example 1 solves the equation 4m - 8 = -12. Example 2 solves the application problem of converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Example 3 solves an equation involving geometry segment lengths. Example 4 identifies properties of equality and congruence that justify statements. The document emphasizes writing justifications for each step in solving equations and identifying properties. It notes that geometry uses similar properties of equality as algebra.
