Properties of Numbers

Commutative Property
• Commutative Property of Addition:a + b = b + a
• Commutative Property of Multiplication:a * b = b * a
• The order of the numbers are switched.• The operation (addition/multiplication) is
what we use to distinguish between the two commutative properties.

Associative Property
• Associative Property of Addition:(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
• Associative Property of Multiplication:(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
• The order of evaluation is altered by using parentheses.
• The operation (addition/multiplication) is what we use to distinguish between the two associative properties.

Properties of Numbers (Example)
Ex 1: Identify the property: 3 * x = x * 3

Properties of Numbers (Example)
Ex 2: Identify the property: (7 + y) + z = 7 + (y + z)

Distributive Property
• Distributive Property: taking multiplication over addition or subtraction.
a(b + c) = a * b + a * c
• Usually no operation next to the number outside of the parentheses.– Implied to be multiplication

Distributive Property (Example)
Ex 3: Apply the distributive property to
2(x + 5)

-(6 + y)

Writing Algebraic Expressions
• Use key words in the problem to determine the operation and order of the operands.

Writing Algebraic Expressions (Example)
Ex 5: Write an expression for the total cost when x units of brand A are bought at $2.45 each and y units of brand B are bought at $1.25 each.

Writing Algebraic Expressions (Example)
Ex 6: Each package of paper contains x pieces. If there are 1200 pieces of paper, in terms of x, how many packages are there?

Writing Algebraic Expressions (Example)
Ex 7: Each package of paper contains 35 pieces. If there are x packages, in terms of x, how many pieces of paper are there?

Writing Algebraic Expressions (Example)
Ex 8: Two angles are supplementary if their measures sum to 180. Given that y is the measure of one of the two angles, represent the other angle in terms of y.

Combining Like Terms
![Page 18: Properties of Numbers and Simplifying Expressions MATH 017 Intermediate Algebra S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f4a5503460f94c6c04a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Combining Like Terms
• Two terms are said to be like terms if they satisfy BOTH of the following conditions.– The variables must be the same– The variables must be raised to the same
power
• To add like terms, add the coefficients and retain the variable base.– Apply the distributive property first if
applicable
