What is the Inverse of Addition?

Back

The Inverse of Addition is a property that states for any number 'a', a + (-a) = 0.

Front

What is the Symmetric Property?

Back

The Symmetric Property states that if a = b, then b = a.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that for any real number a, a = a.

Front

What is the Multiplicative Property of Zero?

Back

The Multiplicative Property of Zero states that for any number 'a', a x 0 = 0.

Front

What is the Commutative Property?

Back

The Commutative Property states that the order of addition or multiplication does not change the result, e.g., a + b = b + a.

Front

What is the Associative Property?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not change the result, e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
