PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS Commutative: In certain situations, order doesn t matter. Commutative propert of addition a + b = b + a Commutative propert of multiplication a b = b a 1) How does commutative work with subtraction? ) Does commutative work for division? Wh or wh not? Associative: In certain situations, grouping can be changed. Associative propert of addition (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Associative propert of multiplication (a b) c = a (b c) Distributive: A value is multiplied times each member of a sum or difference. a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b c) = ab ac Identit: Appling an identit, doesn t change the value of the number. Additive Identit a + 0 = a (Zero is the additive identit.) Multiplicative Identit a 1 = a (One is the identit for multiplication.) Inverse: An inverse changes a number into an identit. Additive Inverse a + (-a) = 0 (The additive inverse of a number is its opposite.)

SOLVING SIMPLE EQUATIONS Solving equations means find the value that makes the sentence true. Make sure to keep the equation balanced b doing exactl the same thing to both sides of the equation. Ask what do ou want the answer to look like? Remove the numbers that are in the wa of the answer one step at a time. Use the opposite operation to remove numbers. Make sure everthing is simplified. Complete addition or subtraction steps before the multiplication or division steps. Check to make sure our answer makes the original sentence true. Examples: 1) 5 + x = - You want x = a number for the answer so ou must remove the 5. 5 + x = - -5-5 Subtract 5 from both sides. x = -7 Simplif Check does 5 + -7 equal -? ) 4a 7 = 1 You want a = a number for the answer so ou must remove the 7 (1 st ) and the 4. 4a 7 = 1 + 7 +7 Add 7 to both sides. 4a = 8 4a 4 8 4 a = Divide both sides b 4 Simplif Check does 4 7 equal 1? 3) 7 3 5 5 7 3 You want = a number for the answer so ou must remove the 7 and then the 5. 7 7 3 7 5 Subtract 7 from both sides. 4 5 Simplif. 5 4 5 5 Multipl both sides b 5.

Write an equation and solve. Make sure ou answer the question asked and that our answer is reasonable. 1) Seven more than twice a number is 9. Find the number. 7 more than means +7 twice a number means multipl a number b, or n is 9 means equals 9 7 + n = 9 (the equation!) 7 7 + n = 9 7 begin solving b subtracting 7 from both sides n = simplif, next ou will divide both sides b n = 1 Does this answer make sense? Seven more than twice one is nine? The answer is 1. ) Five less than twice a number is 7. Find the number. 5 less than means 5 is subtracted from something twice a number means multipl a number b, or n is 7 means equals 7 n 5 = 7 (the equation!) n 5 + 5 = 7 + 5 begin solving b adding 5 to both sides n = 1 simplif, next ou will divide both sides b 6 n = 6 Does the answer make sense?

PERCENT OF CHANGE The amount of percentage a number increases or decreases from an original number is called the percent of change. The percent of change increases if the original number is smaller than the new number. The percent of change decreases if the original number is larger than the new number. To find the percent of change, use the ratio: amount of increase or decrease original number Ex: 1) Find the percent of change if the rent on our apartment increases from $500 to $550 per month. % increase = amount of increase original number = 50 500 1 10 10% Ex: ) Find the percent of change if a shirt originall costs $65 and is on sale for $40. % decrease = amount of decrease original number = 5 65 0.3846or38.46% Find the percent of change requested in each problem.

A proportion is an equation with two equal ratios. To solve a proportion, cross multipl and simplif.

GRAPHING ORDERED PAIRS Ordered pairs, written (x, ) where x represents the horizontal move and represents the vertical move, represent points on the Cartesian coordinate plane.

(-1, -) GRAPHING LINES BY PLOTTING POINTS You will need to figure out the coordinates of at least 3 points on the given line. Plot those points on an x--axis, connect them, and extend the line in both directions. Ever line except horizontal or vertical lines, eventuall will run through ever value of x and ever value of. So ou should choose an x value and figure out the value that goes with it to complete an ordered pair. Just plug the x of our choice into the equation and solve the equation for. Example: Graph x + = 6 Choose 1 for x. Choose 3 for x. Choose 4 for x. (1) + = 6 = 4 (1, 4) is a point on the line (3) + = 6 = 0 (3, 0) is a point on the line (4) + = 6 = - (4, -) is a point on a line If ou prefer, ou could choose values for.
