3
Properties of Real Numbers For any real numbers a, b, and c AdditionMultiplication Commutative Associative Identitya + 0 = a = 0 + a Inverse If a is not zero, then
4
Properties of Real Numbers Distributive property For all real numbers a, b, and c a(b+c) = ab + ac and (b+c)a = ba + ca
5
Solving Equations; 5 Properties of Equality ReflexiveFor any real number a, a=a Symmetric Property For all real numbers a and b, if a=b, then b=a Transitive Property For all reals, a, b, and c, if a=b and b=c, then a=c
6
Solving Equations; 5 Properties of Equality Addition and Subtraction For any reals a, b, and c, if a=b then a+c=b+c and a- c=b-c Multiplication and Division For any reals a, b, and c, if a=b then a*c=b*c, and, if c is not zero, a/c=b/c
