1.7 Properties of Real Numbers
The commutative properties say that if two numbers are added or multiplied in any order, they give the same result.

1.7 Properties of Real Numbers
The associative properties say that when we add or multiply three numbers, we can group them in any manner and get the same answer.

Example 2
Use an associative property to complete each statement.
(a) –6 + (–3 + 5) = (–6 + ___) + 5
1.7 Properties of Real NumbersUsing the Associative Properties
(–3)
(b) –3(5 · –2) = (–3 ·___) · –25

1.7 Properties of Real NumbersUsing Commutative and Associative Properties
Example 3
Find each sum or product.
(a) 18 + 23 + 9 + 12 + 27 + 11 = (18 + 12) + (23 + 27) + (9 + 11)
= 30 + 50 + 20
= 100
(b) 75(9 · 4) = (75 · 4)9
= 300 · 9
= 2700

1.7 Properties of Real Numbers
The identity properties say that the sum of 0 and any number equals that number, and the product of 1 and any number equals that number.

The opposite of a, –a, is the additive inverse of a.
The inverse property of addition says that the sum of a number and its additive inverse is 0 (the additive identity).

The reciprocal of a, 1/a, is the multiplicative inverse of the nonzero number a.
The inverse property of multiplication says that the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 (the multiplicative identity).

1.7 Properties of Real Numbers
The distributive property says that multiplying a number a by a sum of numbers b + c gives the same result as multiplying a by b and a by c and then adding the two products.
a(b + c) = ab + ac
The distributive property is also valid for subtraction.
a(b – c) = ab – ac
Using the Distributive Property

Example 7
Use the distributive property to rewrite each expression.
(a) –6(–2 + 5) = –6(–2) + –6(5)
1.7 Properties of Real NumbersUsing the Distributive Property
= 12 + (–30)
= –18
(b) 2(3x – 7) = 2(3x) + 2(–7)
= 6x + (–14)
= 6x –14

Example 7 (concluded)
Use the distributive property to rewrite each expression.
(c) 3 · 9 + 3 · 6 = Here, we can use the distributive property in reverse.

= 3(15)
= 45
(d) 5(2r – 3s + 4t) = 5(2r) + 5(–3s) + 5(4t)
= 10r – 15s + 20t
