Chapter 7: The

Properties of Real
Numbers
DOES THE FACT THAT REAL NUMBERS EXIST IMPLY THAT
IMAGINARY NUMBERS EXIST?
Chapter 7.2:
Commutative and Associative
Properties
Lesson Objectives
• Use the commutative property
• Use the associative property
• Evaluate expressions using the commutative and
associative properties
• Simplify expressions using the commutative and
associative properties
Quick Quiz
1. Simplify:

2. Multiply:

3. Find the opposite of 15.

4. Name the four basic operations.


Commutative Property

If you change the order of the numbers when adding or multiplying, the
result is the same.
Use the Commutative Property
Example: Use the commutative properties to rewrite the following expressions:
1) −1 + 3 =

2) 4 · 9 =

On your own: Use the commutative properties to rewrite the following:


1) −4 + 7 = 2) 6 · 12 =

3) 14 + (−2) = 4) 3(−5) =
Is Subtraction Commutative…???
Does 7 − 3 give the Noooo, it does
same result as 3 − 7? not!

Example: Is
3 −7= ¿ ∴ 3 −7 ≠ 7 − 3

The results are not the same.


We can say that subtraction is not commutative.
Division Commutative…???
Does 7 − 3 give the Noooo, it does
same result as 3 − 7? not!

Example: Is
2 ÷ 10= ¿

The results are not the same.


We can say that division is not commutative.
Associative Property

When adding three numbers, changing the grouping of the numbers does not
change the result. This is known as the Associative Property of Addition.
Associative Property

When multiplying three numbers, changing the grouping of the numbers does not
change the result. This is known as the Associative Property of Multiplication.

Use the Associative Property
Example: Use the associative properties to rewrite the following
1. (3 + 0,6) + 0,4 =

On your own: Use the associative properties to rewrite the following:


1) (1 + 0,7) + 0,3 = 2) (−9 · 8) · =

3) (4 + 0,6) + 0,4 = 4) (−2 · 12) · =


Use the Associative Property
Example: Use the Associative Property of Multiplication to simplify:
.

On your own: Use the Associative Property of Multiplication to simplify the given
expressions:
1. 8(4x)

2. −3(7y)
Evaluate expressions using the Properties
The commutative and associative properties can make it
easier to evaluate some algebraic expressions.
Example: Evaluate each expression when

Simplifying expressions using the Properties
When we simplify algebraic expressions, we can often make the work easier by
applying the Commutative or Associative Property first instead of automatically
following the order of operations.

Example: Simplify the following:


1) −84n + (−73n) + 84n. 2)
