Study Notes

Simplifying Expressions

  • To simplify the expression 5(7 + 3), use the distributive property.
  • Distribute the 5 by multiplying it with both terms inside the parentheses: 5(7) + 5(3).

Evaluating Expressions

  • The expression 2x + 3y evaluates to 18 when x = 3 and y = 4.
  • Substitute the values of x and y, simplify, and you get 2(3) + 3(4) = 6 + 12 = 18.

Commutative Property

  • You can rearrange the terms in the expression a + b to b + a due to the commutative property of addition.
  • This property states that the order in which you add numbers does not affect the sum.

Division

  • Dividing 36 by 6 yields the result 6.

Order of Operations

  • The order of operations, often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS or BODMAS, dictates the sequence in which arithmetic operations are performed.
  • PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
  • BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  • These rules ensure consistent results when evaluating complex expressions.
