Properties of Operations with Real Numbers:
Commutative Property of Addition a + b = b + a
Commutative Property of Multiplication ab = ba
Associative Property of Addition (a + b ) + c = a + (b + c)
Associative Property of Multiplication (ab)c = a(bc)
Additive Identity Property a + 0 = 0 + a
Multiplicative Identify Property a* 1 = 1 * a = a
Additive Inverse Property a + (-a) = 0
Multiplicative Inverse Property a * (1/a) = 1, a ≠0
Distributive Property a(b + c) = ab + ac
