Properties

Distributive property: Put numbers

together to make the problem easier.
example: 8 12 --> 10 10.

Associative property: To move a group of

numbers to make the problem easier.
example: 4(1712)--> 12(174)

Commutative property: to move around

numbers to make the problem easier.

Simplifying expressions

How to simplify equations is by putting

common factors together. example:
4(7-3)+2x= 16+2x

Solving equations

How to solve equations with fractions is

you must rst nd a common denominator
ex. 5x/6 + x/3 - 1/2=11/6 --> 5x+2x-3=
1.5 Next you must simplify the equation by
getting rid of the common factors ex.
3x-3=1.5 Now it is a one step equation. so
you can solve in normally X= -.5

How to graph
inequalities

How to graph inequalities is simple. First

you have to isolate x. example. 2 ! x/-5 -->
-.4 ! x. |-|-|-|-|

Subtracting fractions
with unlike

How to subtract fractions with unlike

denominators is to nd a common
denomanator.

2/3 - 3/5 --> 10/15 -9/15= 1/15

That is your answer.

Multiplying Fractions

How to multiply fractions is you just

multiply the denominators and numerators
to get the answer. 2/3 3/5 = 6/15i
