Study Guide Unit 2 Test #1 ANSWERS

Number Properties:

 Memorize all number properties and an example

 Practice: State the name of the number property that modeled by the example.
1. 4 + 0 = 0 + 4 Commutative Property of Addition
1
2. 3 x 3 = 1 Multiplicative Inverse
3. (x + 2)( x – 4) = x2 – 2x – 8 Distributive Property
4. -30 + 30 = 0 Additive Inverses
5. 4x = 4x Reflexive Property of Equality
6. If 5 = x, then x = 5 Symmetric Property of Equality
7. If AB = CD and CD = EF, then AB = EF Transitive Property of Equality

Justification Proofs

 Review the ALWAYS,SOMETIMES,NEVER Handout

 Practice: Read each statement and determine if it is always, sometimes or never
true. Give an example and counterexample, if needed. All variables represent real
numbers.

Statement Always/Sometimes/Never Justification

c+5=5+c Always Commutative Property

4x – 2x = 2x Always Combine Like Terms
2a + (-2a) = 0 Always Additive Inverses
3a > 9 Sometimes True: when a >3
False: when a ≤ 3
6a – 8 < 12 Sometimes True: when a < 10/3
False: when a ≥ 10/3
Solve Equations
 Make sure you can solve all multi-step equations, variables on both sides, and word
problems
 Practice: Solve the equations and show all work steps. Circle final answer.

 Solve Inequalities

 Be able to solve all types of inequalities and leave answers in algebraic form,
interval notation, set notation, and graphically.

7x + 2 > 4x + 15 -6x – 1 ≥ 5 and 14 + 5x ≥ 19
