COMMUTATIVE
You can swap numbers over and still get the same answer but only
with adding and multiplying

ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY
It doesn't matter how you group the numbers when you add.
Associative property only works with adding and subtracting.

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY
The Distributive Property lets you multiply a sum by
multiplying each addend separately and then add the
products. You should use the Distributive property for
mental math.

II
4(7x-3)+2x
4(7x)-(4x3)+2x Distribute 4(7x) and (4x3)
28x-12+2x Now combine like terms
30x - 12 nished

III
7x - 10 - 9x = -13
7x - 9x = -13 + 10 Moved like terms onto each side
-2x = -3 Combined like terms
x = -3/-2 Isolated the variable
x = 1 1/2 Simplied the improper fraction

IV
5x/6 + x/3 - 1/2 =11/6 Find common denominator.
5x/6 + 2x/6 - 3/6 =11/6 Get variables and
numbers on each side.
5x/6 + 2x/6 =11/6 + 3/6 Combine like terms.
7x/6 = 14/6 Multiply by 6.
7x = 14 Isolate the variable.
x = 2

V
2 < x/-5 Isolate the variable
-10 < x Because I multiplied my a negative I have to
reverse the sign.
-10 > x

VI
-4x + 4 > - 8 Get like numbers on same side.
-4x > -12 Isolate the variable.
x > 3 reverse the sign because i divided by a negative.
x < 3
2 < 3 checked my work! :)

VII
when graphing inequalities you have to put a open
circle or a closed circle. the open means its greater
than or less than. The closed circle means that it is
greater than or equal to so it can be the number or
greater than.

WORD PROBLEM 1
12w > 160 Isolate the variable.
So I divided by 12 and got w > 13.333
Which means Chris would have to work at least 14
weeks to afford his bike.

WORD PROBLEM 2
25 < 1/3x Isolate the variable by dividing 1/3
25 1/3 < x reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1 so i multiply
straight across.
25/1 x 3/1 < x
75 < x
If Mark spent 25 min. his brother spent more than
75 min.

WORD PROBLEM 3
1/3x - 36 < 22 get the x by itself by adding 36 on both
sides.
1/3x < 58 Isolate the variable, dividing by 1/3
x < 58/1 1/3 reciprocal is 3/1
x < 58/1 x 3/1
x < 178
