What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (a x b) x c = a x (b x c).

Front

Rewrite (9 x 6) x 5 using the Associative Property.

Back

9 x (6 x 5)

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. For example, a x b = b x a.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

Is 7 - 6 an algebraic expression?

Back

No, it is not an algebraic expression because it does not contain a variable.

Front

Use the Associative Property to rewrite (4 + x) + 7.

Back

4 + (x + 7)

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, a x 1 = a.

Front

What is an algebraic expression?

Back

An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can include numbers, variables, and operation symbols, but does not have an equality sign.

Front

Rewrite 5 + (3 + 2) using the Associative Property.

Back

(5 + 3) + 2

Front

What does the equation 4 x 9 = 9 x 4 demonstrate?

Back

It demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication.
