Let's say a is 1, and b is 2. Is 1-2 the same as 2-1? I didn't think so. This is because subtraction is the same thing as adding a negative number, so by switching the a and b, you are also switching them between negatives and positives. However, -a-b is the same as -b-a.

What is the algebraic expression for ten more than the product of a and b?
It is: ab+10
How do you write an equivalent expression using the communative property with 11 plus ab?
Using the communative property of both addition and multiplication, 11+ab could be rewritten as ab+11, 11+ba or ba+11.
Algebraic expression a cubed minuis B-Cubed?
a^(3) - b^(-3) = a^(3) - 1/b^(3) This factors to (a - 1/b)(a^2 + a/b + (1/b)^2))
An example of a boolean expression?
a ⊕ b = ab' + a'b
What is the algebraic expression for a when 18 is less than ab?
The expression is: ab-18
Write an algebraic phrase for this expression ab plus 2?
ab increased by 2
Is ab an algebraic expression?
Yes, because there is no equal sign. Having an equal sign would make it an equation.
What is the equivalent expression to 11 plus ab?
11 + ab is the expression.
What is the algebraic expression for ten more than the product of a and b?
It is: ab+10
How do you simlify variable algebraic expression with exponent?
Here are some rules that can help you simplify such expressions, in some cases. (ab)c=abc abac = ab+c ab/ac = ab-c
What is the algebraic phrase for ab plus 2?
ab + 2
What is the algebraic expression for the square of the sum of two numbers equals the sum of their squares plus twice their product?
Equation, not expression. A and B are two numbers. (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + 2(AB) ----------------------------------
What does ab mean in algebraic expressions?
a times b
How do you write an equivalent expression using the communative property with 11 plus ab?
Using the communative property of both addition and multiplication, 11+ab could be rewritten as ab+11, 11+ba or ba+11.
Algebraic expression a cubed minuis B-Cubed?
a^(3) - b^(-3) = a^(3) - 1/b^(3) This factors to (a - 1/b)(a^2 + a/b + (1/b)^2))
How do you solve a plus ab?
Plus ab is an algebraic expression. As given you cannot solve it. However, If you have x +ab = c Then 'ab' can be solved. We do this by subtracting 'x' from both sides. (Preserve equality) x - x + ab = c - x x-x = 0 , just like 2 - 2 = 0 Hence ab = c -x
