Associative Property of Addition | For every real number (a + b) + c = a + (b +c) |
Commutative Property of Addition | For every real number a and b, a + b = b + a |
Identity Property of Addition | For every real number n, n + 0 =n |
Inverse Property of Addition | For every real number n, there is an additive inverse –n such that, n + (-n) =0 |
Distributive Property | a (b + c)= ab+ ac (b + c) a= ba + ca a(b –c)= ab- ac (b - c) a= ba – ca |
