Defining the Extended Addition Property for Financial Auditing

In professional accounting and auditing, you often work with multiple sets of verified data. For example, if you have confirmed that 'Actual Expenses' equals 'Budgeted Amount' for Department A, and you have also confirmed that 'Actual Expenses' equals 'Budgeted Amount' for Department B, you can mathematically justify that the combined total expenses for both departments match the combined budget.

State the name of the mathematical property that allows you to combine two separate equations in this way. In your response, provide the formal definition of the Extended Addition Property of Equality and its general algebraic statement using the variables aa, bb, cc, and dd.
