Closure with respect to addition and multiplication. Cummutative, Associative properties of addition and of multiplication. Distributive property of multiplication over addition.
The answer cannot be addition of numbers because that sign can also go with the commutative property, not "only the associative property" as required by the question. For the same reason, the answer cannot be multiplication of numbers. Also, in both cases, multiplication is distributive over addition.
The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
The distributive property of multiplication over addition.
The distributive property of multiplication over addition.
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
The distributive property of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.
This is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
It is a property that does not exist!It is a property that does not exist!It is a property that does not exist!It is a property that does not exist!
You should state the property used, such as distributive property of multiplication over addition or addition property of equality, etc.
There are two properties of addition. The COMMUTATIVE property states that the order in which the addition is carried out does not matter. In symbolic terms, a + b = b + a The ASSOCIATIVE property states that the order in which the operation is carried out does not matter. Symbolically, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and so, without ambiguity, either can be written as a + b + c. That is IT. No more! The DISTRIBUTIVE property is a property of multiplication over addition (OR subtraction), not a property of addition. The existence of of an IDENTITY and an ADDITIVE INVERSE are properties of the set over which addition is defined; again not a property of addition. For example, you can define addition on all positive integers which will have the commutative and associative properties but the identity (zero) and additive inverses (negative numbers) are undefined as far as the set is concerned.
