Algebra: Chapter 1, Lesson 5, page 24. Distributive Property of Mutiplication over Addition The distributive property of mulitplication over addition is written as `a(b+c)=ab+ac`. For example: `3(x+2)=3x+6` The opposite of distribution is factoring where we go backward. For example: `3x+3y=3(x+y)` … Continue reading →

Algebra: Chapter 1, Lesson 4, page 19. The Associative Property We discussed the use of the Associative property by re-grouping terms in paranthesis. We also used both commutative and associative properties together to help simplify expressions for evaluation. We looked … Continue reading →
