What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

The Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property of Equality?

Back

The Reflexive Property of Equality states that any quantity is equal to itself, e.g., a = a.

Front

What is the Symmetric Property of Equality?

Back

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

Front

What is the first statement in the reason column of a proof?

Back

The first statement is always 'Given', which states the information that is provided.

Front

What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

Back

The Multiplication Property of Equality states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Division Property of Equality?

Back

The Division Property of Equality states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Transitive Property of Equality?

Back

The Transitive Property of Equality states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to reduce it to its simplest form, combining like terms and performing operations.

Front

What is an algebraic proof?

Back

An algebraic proof is a logical argument that uses algebraic properties and operations to demonstrate the truth of a statement.
