WU Properties of Real Numbers

Front

Identify the property: a + b = b + a

Back

Commutative of addition: This property states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.

Front

Identify the property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

Back

Distributive: This property states that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products.

Front

Identify the property: (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c)

Back

Associative of multiplication: This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product.

Front

Identify the property: a + 0 = a

Back

Identity of addition: This property states that adding zero to any number does not change the value of that number.

Front

Identify the property: a ⋅ 1 = a

Back

Identity of multiplication: This property states that multiplying any number by one does not change the value of that number.

Front

Identify the property: a + (-a) = 0

Back

Inverse of addition: This property states that a number added to its additive inverse (negative) equals zero.

Front

Identify the property: a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c

Back

Associative of multiplication: This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product.

Front

Identify the property: a + b = b + a

Back

Commutative of addition: This property states that the order of addition does not affect the sum.

Front

Identify the property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

Back

Distributive: This property allows us to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Identify the property: a ⋅ b = b ⋅ a

Back

Commutative of multiplication: This property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.
