    This document contains examples of algebraic expressions and equations to simplify, compute, or identify properties of. Some key examples include simplifying absolute value expressions like |-17|, computing subtraction problems like -2.1 + (-5.5), showing that subtraction is not commutative by providing an example of real numbers where a - b does not equal b - a, and identifying that examples like ab = ba illustrate the property of commutativity while a(bc) = (ab)c does not.
