The way in which three numbers are grouped when they are multiplied does not change their product. A number and its opposite add up to give zero. If you add zero to a number, the sum is the same as that number. The product of any number and zero is zero. The way in which three numbers are grouped when they are added does not change their sum. The product of a number and its reciprocal is one. The result is the same when you multiply a number by a sum or multiply each addend by the number and then add. The order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change their product. If you multiply a number by one, the produce is the same as that number. The order in which two numbers are added does not change their sum.

a(b + c) = ab + ac

4+0=4 0+4=4
2 1 1 1 , 2 1 2 2

a+b=b+a

(a b) c = a (b c) a + (-a) = 0 (-a) + a = 0 a+0=a 0+a=a a0=0 0a=0 (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)


1 1 1 , a 1 a a

3 10 = 10 3

(24 + 8) + 2 = 24 + (8 + 2)

2(5 + 3) = 2 5 + 2 3

5+7=7+5 11 0 = 0 0 11 = 0 61=6 16=6 5 + (-5) = 0 (-5) + 5 = 0 (9 4) 25 = 9 (4 25)
