Property Of Zero

• Order of values does not matter

• If a=b and b=c then a=c

• Multiplying by 0 always equals 0

• Stays the same

2 (n + 5) = -2

SELECT ALL THAT APPLY: what is the first step in solving the following equation ____________

• add five to both sides

• distribute 2 to all terms in the parenthesis

• add 2

• divide by 2

Which step is incorrect?

 Consider the steps that a mathematician writes as she solves the equation 5x+2=3x-7
  Equation:  5x +2 = 3x −7 
Step 1:  2x +2 = −7 
Step 2:  2x = −9 
Solution: x = −  $\frac{9}{2}$  
 Which statement explains why the solution following Step 2 is a valid step?  

 $\frac{9}{2}$  

• If you add 2 to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal

• If you subtract 2 from both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal.

• If you multiply both sides of an equation by 2, the sides remain equal

• If you divide both sides of an equation by 2, the sides remain equal.
