Back

The Division Property states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a number across a sum.

Front

What is the Symmetric Property?

Back

The Symmetric Property states that if a = b, then b = a. It shows that equality can be reversed.

Front

What is the Transitive Property?

Back

The Transitive Property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. It connects three equal values.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any number is equal to itself, so a = a.
