PROPERTIES OF ALGEBRA
2
Additive Identity
3
Multiplicative Identity
a · 1 = a Note: the value remains the same Example: 7 · 1 = 7
4
Additive Inverse a + (-a) = 0
Note: the terms cancel each other out and equal the identity. Example: 2 + (-2) = 0
5
Multiplicative Inverse
6
Property of Zero (Multiplication)
Note: any term multiplied by 0 is equal to 0 Example: 5 · 0 = 0
7
Commutative Property
8
Associative Property
9
Reflexive Property of Equality
a = a Note: the term is equal to itself Example: 5x + 1 = 5x + 1
10
Symmetric Property of Equality
If a = b, then b = a Note: there are two equations and the left and right sides are switched Example: if x + 3 = 7, then 7 = x + 3
11
Transitive Property of Equality
If a = b and b = c, then a = c Note: there are three equations that follow a pattern Example: if x = and = 8, then x = 8
12
Substitution Property of Equality
If a = b then “a” can replace “b” Note: substitution means replacement Example: if x = 2, then 5x + 3 = 5(2) + 3
13
Distributive a (b + c) = ab + ac
Note: a coefficient is multiplied by at least two terms. Example: 2 (x + 5) = 2x + 10
14
Addition Property of Equality
If a = b, then a + c = b + c Note: the same thing is added to both sides of the equation Example: if x – 10 = 15, then x = 25 (added 10 to each side)
15
Subtraction Property of Equality
If a = b, then a – c = b – c Note: the same thing is subtracted to both sides of the equation Example: if y + 5 = 70, then y = 65 (5 is subtracted from both sides)
16
Multiplication Property of Equality
If a = b, then a · c = b · c Note: the same thing is multiplied to both sides of the equation Example: If ½ x = 10, then x = 20 (each side is multiplied by 2)
17
Division Property of Equality
If a = b, then a/c = b/c Note: the same thing is divided to both sides of the equation Example: If 5x = 20, then x = 4 (each side is divided by 5)
18
Closure Property If a & b are integers, then a+b is an integer.
If you perform an operation on any two numbers of a set, the solution is still in the set. 5 * 2 = 10 is closed for integers (5, 2 and 10 are all integers) Division is NOT closed for integers because (5 ÷ 2 = 2.5, and 2.5 is NOT an integer)
