Properties
! Distributive Property - Multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and add the products of each. Ex. 9!47 = (9!40)+(9!7) ! Associative Property of Addition/Multiplication - You can change the grouping of an only addition or an only multiplication problem. Ex. 2+(4+5)= (2+4)+5 and (4!19)!10 = 4!(19!10) ! Commutative Property of Addition/Multiplication - You can add or multiply numbers in any order and it will not a"ect the sum or product. Ex. 4+6 = 6+4 and 12!3 = 3!12

Simplify: 4(7x-3) + 2x
! First of all, you would have to use the distributive property to distribute 4(7x-3). It would be 4!7x +4!3 = 28x+12+2x ! Now you would want to combine the like terms 28x and 2x which would be 30x ! Solution: 12+30x

Solve: 7x - 10 - 9x = -13
! First of all, you have to combine the like terms which is 7x-9x and that would give you -2x ! Now you are left with -2x-10 = -13. You have to do the inverse operation which would be +10 to both sides ! So the equation would look like this right now: -2x = -3 ! Lastly, just divide -2 from both sides to isolate the variable ! Solution: x = 1.5

Solve: 5x/6 + x/3 - 1/2 = 11/6

! First you would have to nd the smallest number that the denominators go into (LCD) ! In this case, the denominators are 6, 3, 2 and 6. The LCD would be 6 because its the smallest number they all go into ! Since 6 goes into 6 one time, 5x times that one time would still be 5x. 3 goes into 5 two times, x times 2 is 2x and so on ! You would be left with 5x + 2x - 3 = 11 Combine like terms. 7x - 3 = 11 ! Now do the inverse operation, adding three to both sides. 7x = 14 ! x=2

Solving : 2 ! x/-5
! The rst thing that you would want to do is do the inverse operation with -5. ! So both sides need to be multiplied by -5. It would look like this : -5!2 # x!-5 ! -10 # x now you have to reverse the operation sign because we were working with a negative number. -10 $ x or x # -10 ! Now you have to graph this, you need to put -10 and 0 on the number line and making sure that it has a closed circle because its part of the solution set and the arrow is pointing towards the left because its less than or equal to.

Open Circle and Closed Circle on Graphing Inequalities

! Open circle when graphing inequalities on a number line - You use an open circle when it is not part of the solution set. So if its greater than or less than you use open circles. ! Closed circle when graphing inequalities on a number line - So basically when the problem is either Less than or equal to/greater than or equal to. The reason for this is because it is part of the solution set.
