properties suuuuuuuuuuuck
yes I know
Order of numbers and variables doesn’t matter when adding
commutative property of addition
5+6=6+5
commutative property of addition
order of number doesn’t matter when multiplying
commutative property of multiplication
5x6=6x5
commutative property of multiplication
order of groupings doesn’t matter (numbers and variables)
associative property (+ and x)
5+(2+9)=(5+2)+9
associative property +
5x(2x9)=(5x2)x9
associative property x
order doesn’t matter (not just numbers)
symmetric property
a=b b=c a=c
transitive property
x+0=x
identity property of addition
x x 1 = x
identity property of multiplication
5+0=5
identity property +
6x1=6
identity property x
x + -x = 0
inverse property +
x x 1/x = 1
inverse property x
5+-5=0
identity property +
5x1/5=1
identity property x
a=a
reflexive property (most stupid property of them all)
a(x+y)=ax+ay
distributive property
if a is a real number and b is a real number, a + b is also a real number
closure property
if a and b are real, axb is real
closure property
