🗑
14+16=16+14 $2000   Commutative Property of Addition  
🗑
(math) x (1/math) = 1 $3000   Inverse Property of Multiplication  
🗑
There is only one real number that is the sum of 2.1 and 0.5 $4000   Closure Property of Addition  
🗑
xy=yx $1000   Commutative Property of Multiplication  
🗑
a+b+(-a) = b $2000   Inverse Property of Addition  
🗑
There is only one real number that is the product of 5 and 6 $3000   Closure Property of Multiplication  
🗑
Can 0 be a multiplication identity element? Why or not? $4000   No, because a number multiplied by 0 equals 0, not the original value of the number.  
🗑
(4+y)+z = 4+(y+z) $1000   Associative Property of Addition  
🗑
1(a+b) = a+b $2000   Identity Element of Multiplication  
🗑
ab+cd+(-ab) = cd $3000   Inverse Property of Addition  
🗑
Can 1 be an addition identity element? Why or why not? $4000   No, because 1 does not give the original value of the number. It only increases the value 1.  
🗑
−41+0 = −41 $1000   Identity Element of Addition  
🗑
Zero plus seven equals seven $2000   Identity Element of Addition  
🗑
(6a)(8x)(1/6a) = 8x $3000   Inverse Property of Multiplicationj  
🗑
Can a property ever be false? Why or why not? $4000   No, a property is a statement that is true for every real number.  
🗑
1(b) = b $1000   Identity Element of Multiplication  
🗑
(5+q)+(-3)=(q+5)+(-3) $2000   Commutative Property of Addition  
🗑
If “add”=”increase” and “increase”=”plus”, then “add”=”plus” $3000   Transitive Property of Equality  
🗑
If 8=5+3, then 5+3=8 $4000   Symmetric Property of Equality  
🗑
(12)(−8)=(−8)(12) $1000   Commutative Property of Multiplication  
🗑
3•(9•0)=(3•9)•0 $2000   Associative Property of Multiplication

🗑
(-3+4)+5 = 5+(-3+4) $4000   Commutative Property of Addition  
🗑
(4m)n=4(mn) $1000   Associative Property of Multiplication  
🗑
(a+b)+c=a+(b+c) $2000   Associative Property of Addition  
🗑
If a=b-c, then b-c=a $3000   Symmetric Property of Equality  
🗑
9+5=(6+3)+5 $4000   Substitution Property  
🗑
2(3+6) = 2•3 + 2•6 $1000   Distributive Property  
🗑
Every real number is equal to itself $2000   Reflexive Property of Equality  
🗑
