Distributive Property
! If you are multiplying a big number you can split
the number up say you have 5x(48) you could do
5x(40+8)=240. you have to split the numbers and it
makes the whole problem a lot easier.

Associative Property
! The associative property is the same property is an
expression occurring two with the same operator
the order of the numbers does not matter.
! Example: (6x6)x3=(3x6)x6=108
! Example: 6+(10+10)=10+(6+10)=26

Commutative Property
! The commutative property is the same problem
switched around.
! Example: 5x4=4x5=20
! Example 10+90=90+10=100

Simplifying expressions
! 4(7x-3)+2x
! First distributive property and get 28x-12+2x
! Next conbine the xs 28x+2x=30x
! 30x-12

SOLVE THE EQUATION
! 7x-10-9x=-13
! First combine xs 7x-9x=-2x-10=-13
! Add ten to both sides -2x=-3
! Divide both sides by negative 2
! x+=-3/2

Solve equation
! 5x/6+x/3-1/2=11/6
! Find common denominator 6
! 5x/6+2x/6-3/6=11/6
! 5x/6+2x/6=7x/6-3/6=11/6
! Add 3/6 to both side
! 7x/6=14/6
! Multiply both sides by 6/7
! x=2 Arensmeyer, William Monday, November 18, 2013 9:54:00 AM Pacic Standard Time 70:56:81:af:d5:63
Solve and graph
! 2 ! x/-5
! Multiply both sides by negative 5: -10!x
! Flip inequality sign. X!-10
! Put closed circle on negative 10 and draw arrow to
left

Closed/Open circle
! A closed circle means the number is included in the
solution.
! An open circle means that the number is not
included in the solution
