Algebraic Proofs Properties

Addition Property of Equality: If two quantities are equal, adding the same value to both retains equality.
Additive Identity Property: Adding zero to any number leaves the number unchanged.
Additive Inverse Property: The sum of a number and its opposite (negative) is zero.
Associative Property of Addition: Changing the grouping of numbers in addition does not affect the sum.
Associative Property of Multiplication: Changing the grouping of factors in multiplication does not affect the product.
Commutative Property of Addition: The order of adding two numbers can be switched without changing the result.
Commutative Property of Multiplication: The order of multiplying two numbers can be switched without changing the product.
Distributive Property: Multiplying a number by a sum or difference can be done by distributing the multiplier to each term within the parentheses.
Division Property of Equality: If two quantities are equal, dividing both by the same non-zero value preserves equality.
Multiplication Property of Equality: If two quantities are equal, multiplying both by the same value retains equality.
Multiplicative Identity Property: Multiplying any number by one results in the original number.
Multiplicative Inverse Property: Any number multiplied by its reciprocal equals one.
Substitution Property: Equal quantities are interchangeable in expressions and equations.
Subtraction Property of Equality: If two quantities are equal, subtracting the same value from both maintains equality.
Transitive Property of Equality: If one quantity equals a second, and the second equals a third, then the first quantity equals the third.
Zero Product Property: If the product of two factors is zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
