Algebraic Concepts
The grouping of addends or factors does not change their sum or product (a +
64 Associate Property b) + c = a + (b + c) or (ab)c = a(bc)
65 Coefficient The numerical value found in front of a variable and represents multiplication
Changing the order of addends or factors does not affect their sum or product a
66 Commutative Property + b = b + a or a(b) = b(a)
67 Constant A number that stands on it own and has a fixed value
To multiply a sum by a number, multiply each addend by the number outside
