    Study Notes

    Reflexive Property

    • States that a number is equal to itself, expressed as a = a.

    Symmetric Property

    • If one quantity is equal to another (a = b), then the second quantity is equal to the first (b = a).

    Transitive Property

    • Establishes a chain of equality: if a = b and b = c, then it follows that a = c.

    Substitution Property

    • Allows for replacing one quantity with another equivalent quantity in equations or expressions: if a = b, then a can be substituted for b.

    Addition Property of Equality

    • Adding the same value to both sides of an equation keeps the equation balanced: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

    Subtraction Property of Equality

    • Subtracting the same value from both sides of an equation maintains equality: if a = b, then a - c = b - c.

    Multiplication Property of Equality

    • Multiplying both sides of an equation by the same quantity preserves equality: if a = b, then ac = bc.

    Division Property of Equality

    • Dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero quantity keeps the equation balanced: if a = b, then a/c = b/c.

    Additive Identity

    • States that adding zero to any number will not change its value: any number + 0 = that number.

    Additive Inverse

    • The sum of a number and its opposite equals zero: x + (-x) = 0.

    Multiplicative Identity

    • States that multiplying any number by one does not change its value: x * 1 = x.

    Multiplicative Property of Zero

    • Any number multiplied by zero results in zero: a * 0 = 0.

    Multiplicative Inverse

    • Involves multiplying a number by its reciprocal to form one: if 3/4 = x, then (4/3) * (3/4) = x * (4/3).

    Commutative Property

    • The order of addition or multiplication does not affect the sum or product: a + b = b + a.

    Associative Property

    • Changing how numbers are grouped does not change the result in addition or multiplication: (7 + 4) + 8 = 7 + (4 + 8).

    Closure Property

    • The sum or product of any two real numbers will always yield another real number.

    Distributive Property

    • Indicates how multiplication distributes over addition: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
