What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change their sum. For example, A + B = B + A.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that adding zero to any number does not change the number. For example, A + 0 = 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.
