Review Types of Numbers and Properties

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

For any number x, x = x. This property states that any quantity is equal to itself.

Front

What is the Transitive Property?

Back

If a = b and b = c, then a = c. This property allows us to conclude equality between two quantities.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

a + b = b + a. This property states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum.

Front

What is the Symmetric Property?

Back

If a = b, then b = a. This property states that if one quantity equals another, then the second quantity equals the first.

Front

What is the Substitution Property?

Back

If a = b, then a can be replaced by b in any expression. This property allows for the replacement of equal quantities.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c). This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not change the sum.

Front

What is the Inverse Property of Addition?

Back

a + (-a) = 0. This property states that a number plus its additive inverse equals zero.

Front

What is an example of the Reflexive Property?

Back

If x = 7, then 7 = 7.

Front

What is an example of the Transitive Property?

Back

If x = 3 and 3 = y, then x = y.

Front

What is an example of the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

If 2 + 3 = 5, then 3 + 2 = 5.
