REVIEW OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL RULES

Rules for Signed Numbers
Addition Rules:
positive + positive = (add) positive Ex: 2 + 1 = 3
negative + negative = (add) negative Ex: –3+ (–5) = –8
negative + positive = (subtract) and Ex: 2 + (–10) = –8
take sign of number with largest Ex: –14 + 16 = 2
absolute value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember: –(–7) means take the opposite of (–7) = 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1Page BY MR: ALAA ABDULLAH 0505647593

Subtraction Rules: Change all “subtraction” to addition and take the opposite sign of the following number then follow
Ex: –7 – (9) means Ex: –3 – (–10) means
–7 + (–9) = -16 –3 + (10) = 7
Ex: –8 + (–9) – (–1) – 2 -change all subtraction signs as indicated above
–8 + (–9) + (1) + (–2) -do addition and subtraction from left to right
–17 + (1) + (–2)
–16 + (–2) = –18
Multiplication/Division Rules: The rules for multiplication and division are the same.
positive ( or ) positive = positive Ex: 10 2 = 5
negative ( or ) negative = positive Ex: –4 (–3) = 12
negative ( or ) positive = negative Ex: 18 (–2) –9
Order of Operations:
Parenthesis;
Exponents;
Multiplication or Division from left to right;
Addition or Subtraction from left to right
P.E.M.D.A.S.
Ex: -7 + 20 ÷ (-4)(5)- 3 - (-8) + 4(3 – 7) 1. Parenthesis 2
-7 + 20 ÷ (-4)(5) - 32- (-8) + 4(-4) 2. Exponents
-7 + 20 ÷ (-4)(5) - 9 - (-8) + 4 3. Division
-7 + (-5) (5) - 9 - (-8) + 4 4. Multiplication
-7 + (-25) - 9 - (-8) + 4 5. Addition
-32 - 9 - (-8) + 4 6. Change subtraction signs
-32 + (-9) + (8) + 4
-41 + 8 + 4
-33 + 4 = -29
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent Equation:
What percent of the total is the part?
12% of the 200 students enrolled in freshman English earned a grade of “A” in the class. How many studen
Ex: 12% of 200 is what - Translate into an equation (“of” means “multiply”; “is” means “equal”)
0.12 x 20 = x - Change % to a decimal
24 = x
Percent Decrease/Increase:
Last year student employment jobs paid $7.25 per hour. This year student employment jobs are paying $8.45 p
increase was given to student employment jobs?
1. Find the amount of the increase: $8.45 - $7.25 = $1.20
2. Which (hourly pay) total received an increase? The $7.25 per hour got increased.
3. What % of the total was the increase?
x 7.25 = 1.20
7.25x = 1.20
x = .1655
x = 16.6% increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Place Value:
101 = 10 10–1 = 0.1
102 = 100 10–2 = 0.01

103 = 1000 10–3 = 0.001
104 = 10000 10–4 = 0.0001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angles:
Acute Angles: less than 90 degrees
Obtuse Angles: more than 90 degrees
Right Angles: 90 degrees
Straight Angle: 180 degrees
Complementary Angles: Two angles the sum of whose measures is 90 degrees
Supplementary Angles: Two angles the sum of whose measures is 180 degrees
Triangles:
Triangles: Sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees
Isosceles Triangle: Two equal sides; two equal angles
Equilateral Triangle: Three equal sides; three equal angles
Right Triangles - Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the measures of the legs of the trian

Statistics:
Mean (average) = sum of all values divided by number of values
Median = middle value when the values are arranged numerically
