The Bistiibutive piopeity in an equation might look like this
4(84). The Bistiibutive piopeity is when two numbeis aie in the
paienthesis. Then you woulu wiite out the equation as 4(8u+4). Then
you woulu solve a uistiibutive piopeity by taking the foui anu
multiplying it by eighty, the fiist numbei in the paienthesis, anu foui
times eighty is thiee hunuieu anu twenty. Then you woulu uo foui
times foui, the seconu numbei in the paienthesis. Now you woulu have
S2u+16=SS6. That's how you woulu solve a uistiibute piopeity
equation.
The associative piopeity of auuition looks like this (4+2)+1u=
4+(2+1u). The associative piopeity changes the giouping. When
changing the pioblem, the sum foes not change. The Associative
piopeity of multiplication is the same thing as the associative piopeity
of auuition. This is how you uo associative piopeity of auuition anu
multiplication.
The commutative piopeity of auuition changes the oiuei of the
auuenus factoi but uoes not change the sum oi piouuct. Foi example,
6+S=S+6. When uoing commutative piopeity of multiplication it's the
same exact thing as the commutative piopeity of auuition. Foi example,
7x4=4x7. This is how you uo commutative piopeity of auuition anu
multiplication.
When simplifying 4(7x-S) + 2x, you fiist uo the uistiibutive
piopeity, to iemove the 7x anu the -S fiom the paienthesis. Then it's 4

x 7x=28x anu 4xS=12. The expiession aftei uoing that woulu be, 28x-12
+2x. Now you woulu have to combine like teims 28x+2x=Sux. Finally
the simplifieu answei is Sux-12.
When solving the pioblem 7x-1u-9x= -1S, you woulu fiist have to
combine like teims, by subtiacting 7x anu 9x, which woulu get you
-2x-1u= -1S. Then you woulu au 1u to both siues of the equation. Aftei
uoing that you woulu get -2x= -S. Then aftei, sense you woulu want to
get iiue of the -2, to isolate the vaiiable, you woulu have to uiviue -2 on
both siues of the equation. As youi final answei you woulu get x= -1 V.
When solving Sx6 + xS - V = 116 you woulu fiist have to finu
common uenominatois. In this pioblem the common uenominatoi
woulu be 6 because S, 2, anu 6 all go into 6 evenly. Then you woulu put
the equation into paienthesis, (Sx6 + xS - V) = (116 ) Then you
woulu uiviue the uenominatoi to how many times 6 goes into the fiist
fiaction. Anu how many times that numbei goes into 6, you woulu
times the numeiatoi by that. Which is one, so then you woulu uo 1
times Sx, which is Sx. Then you woulu uo 6 uiviueu by S, which is 2,
then 2 times x, which is 2x. Now you woulu uo 6 uiviueu by 2 foi the
thiiu fiaction, which is S so 1 times S. Foi the last fiaction on the othei
siue of the pioblem, you woulu uo the same thing, 6 uiviueu by 6 is 1
times 11, which is 11. Now the pioblem woulu look like, Sx+2x - S = 11.
Now you woulu combine like teims. So then you woulu uo Sx+2x= 7x.
Now oui equation woulu look like 7x-S=11. Then on both siues of the
pioblem you woulu uo +S. Now we woulu have oui equation looking
like 7x=14. Then you woulu uo uiviueu by 7 anu oui final answei woulu
be x=2.
When solving anu giaphing 2 is less than oi equal to x-S you
woulu fiist have to uo is isolate the vaiiable, to multiply -S on both
siues. The 2 times -S=-1u. Now you woulu have to ieveise the sign in
the miuule anu now the answei is -1u is gieatei than oi equal to x. Now
giaphing this woulu be you woulu have to maik -1u on the numbei line,
anu -1u is pait of the solution, so eveiything to the iight of the numbei
line because eveiything is equal oi gieatei than -1u is the solution.
To solve the inequality -4x+4 is gieatei than oi equal to -8. The
solution of this pioblem woulu be x is less than oi equal to S. To giaph
this you woulu have to on a numbei line put S, anu thiee is pait of the

solution so eveiything below thiee oi to the left of thiee on the numbei
line.
0pen anu closeu ciicles on a numbei line: An open ciicle is when
that the numbei is not pait of the solution, but eveiything eithei to the
iight oi left of it is (matteis what kinu of pioblem). A closeu ciicle
means that the numbei is pait of the solution, anu means that the
vaiiable is equal to oi gieatei than less to the numbei.
Solving the inequality woiu pioblems:
vIII. The equation in this woulu be 12x is gieatei than oi equal to
16u, the fiist step in this pioblem woulu be to uiviue 12 on both siues of
the equations, to isolate the vaiiable, anu enu up with x is gieatei than
oi equal to 1S.S, anu if youi iounu it up, it is 14. The answei woulu be
that 14 weeks foi Chiis to get enough money to get his bike
The inequality woulu be b is gieatei than oi equal to 2SxS, anu
then you woulu multiply 2SxS, anu the answei to that is 7S. So then you
woulu enu up with b is gieatei than oi equal to 7S.
The inequality woulu be 1Sn-S6 is less than oi equal to 22.
Fiist you woulu uo is to isolate the vaiiable, is to auu S6 to both siues of
the equation. Then you woulu enu up with 1Sn is less than oi equal to
S8. Next you woulu have to uo is uiviue 1S on both siues of the
equation, anu S8 uiviueu by 1S is 174, anu you woulu enu up with n is
less than oi equal to 174.
