Distributive Property
The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Example: 4(86)= 4(8)+4(6) 32+24 56

Associative Property
Is when you keep the order and signs of the numbers but you move the parentheses around
Example 4(8x3)=(4x8)3 Example 4+(8+3)=(4+8)+3

Commutative Property
Is where you can put the numbers in different orders and you get the same answer every time.

Example 6+3 = 3+6

Example 6x3 = 3x6

Simplifying an Expression
4(7x-3)+2x - group 4(7)=28-3=25 - +,x,, the grouped numbers 25(x+2x)+,x,, the grouped numbers 25(3x) is the nal answer

1.

x rst you cancel 2! out the number 2. -5 on the side of the -5 variable -5 x 3. 2! 5.now graph it! -5 Find the -5 x answer -5 -10 -10 0
and since x is smaller then -10 you put the arrow to the left because lets say that x=-25 -25 < -10

Equation 4.

2 !x -5 x-5 -10 -5 -10"x

ip the sign because it is a negative

answer
because it is a !"

put it behind the zero because it is negative

Open and Closed Circles

When the circle (the dot on the line) is open that means the the number is not part of the solution set

When the circle (the dot on the line) is closed that means the the number is part of the solution set
