Multiplicative inverse property -correct answer-value when multiplies by any non zero
number =1.
reciprocal of value
4/5 X 5/4=1
Algebraic substitution method -correct answer-2 equations 2 unknowns
solve 1 equation with 1 unknown then substitute answer into the other equation.
Trichotomy law -correct answer-only three possible relationships between X & Y,
X >Y
Y >X
X =Y
Multiplicative property of equality -correct answer-Multiplying/ Dividing the same value to
each side of the equation
4X=8
X=2
Zero Product Property -correct answer-Set quadratic equal to zero, factor and solve for each
factor.
(X-3)(X-4)
X-3=0 X-4=0
Additive Property of equality -correct answer-Adding the same number to both sides
X+2=10
X+2-2=10-2
Substitution Property -correct answer-Substituting a value for numbers
2(a+b)=3 a+b=9
2(a)=3C
, Symmetric Property -correct answer-Only Switching sides
10=Y
Y=10
Reflexive Property -correct answer-Anything equaling itself
7Y=7Y
Multiplicative Identity -correct answer-Multiplied and didn't change anything
5X1=5
Additive Identity -correct answer-The sum of any number and zero is the original number
5+0=0
Distributive Property -correct answer-Multiplying through a parenthesis
a(a+b)=ab+ac
Associative Property -correct answer-Regrouping
a+(b+c)= (a+b)+c
Commutative Property -correct answer-Move Around
a+b=b+a
ab=ba
Factors -correct answer-Numbers you can multiply together to get another number.
Composite Number -correct answer-A whole number that can be divided by numbers other
than 1 and itself.
Prime Number -correct answer-A whole greater than 1 whose only 2 whole factors are 1 and
itself.
How to find the probability of an event -correct answer-Fraction:
Number of favorable outcomes possible
