Distributive Property: If you multiply a sum by a number you will get the same
results if you multiply each addend by that number and then add the products.
5(3+1)=15+5=20
5(4)=20
Associative property: when you are only adding or multiplying, changing the group
will not affect the sum or product. (2+1)+3=2+(1+3)

Commutative: You can add numbers in any order 3+5=5+3


II. I would simplify the expression 4(7x-3) +2x
First you have to use the distributed property by multiplying 4x7x= 28x and (4x3)=12
28x-12 +2x and then you combine like terms by adding 28x + 2x=30x. In the end,
you get a simplified answer of 30x-12.


III. 7x-10-9x=-13 First you need to combine like terms 7x-9x=-2x. So now your
new equation is -2x-10=-13. To isolate the variable you must remove the 10 by
adding the 10 on both sides. So the new equation is -2x=-13 + 10. -13+10=-3. Now
the simplified equation is -2x=-3. The last step is to divide -2 on both sides to isolate
the variable and you end up with an answer of x=3/4

IV. To solve the equation 5x/6 + x/3 =11/6 you first must find like denominators,
which in this case would be 6 because 3,2 and 6 can all go into 6 evenly. Put the
equation into parenthesis and 6 goes into 6 one time so (5x) x 1=5x and next 3 goes
into 6 two-time so x x 2= 2x. Then 2 goes not 6 three time so 1x3=3. Finally 6 goes
in to 6 once and 11x1=11. So our new equation is 5x+2x-3=11. Now you combine
like terms by adding 5x + 2x=7x. So now our equation is: 7x+3=11. Now you have
a two-step equation to solve and you start by adding to three to get ride of -3 what
you do to one side you have to do to the other side so 11+3= 14. Now to isolate the
variable you have to divide 7 to both sides so x=2.



v. To solve and graph the inequality 2< or = to x/-5. The first thing you do to isolate
the variable is multiple negative 5 on both sides so 2x-5=-10. So now you have to
reverse the sign in the middle so the answer is -10>or= to x. to graph this you must
you must have negative 10 one a number line is part of the solution and so is
everything to the right of the number line because everything is equal to or greater
than -10 is the solution.


VI. The solution is x is less than or equal to 3. To graph is part of the solution and
everything below it or to the left of the number 3.


VII. An open circle mean that the number is not part of the solution, but everything
either to the right or left of it is (depending on the problem). A closed circle means
that that number is part of the solution, which means the variable is equal to or
greater than/less than to the number.



VIII. The equation would be 12x 160, you first need to divide 12 on both sides to
isolate the variable and end up with x 13.3 and if you round up it is 14 weeks for
Chris to get enough money to get his bike

The inequality would be b 25 x 3 and you would multiply 25 x 3 and end up with an
answer of b 75.

The inequality would be 1/3n-36 22. So your first step to isolate the variable is to
add 36 to both sides and end up with 1/3n 58. Next, you would divide on both
sides and 58 divided by is 174 so n 174.
