Subtraction property if x+12=24 the subtraction property lets us minus 12 from both sides to get x+12-12=24-12 the twelves on both sides cancel each other out by the way, to get x=12, your answer
The distributive property is a property that connects multiplication and addition. In symbols: a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a + c). We use this property on a daily basis, when we do a multiplication with pencil and paper, with numbers of more than one digit. For example, 2 x 12 = 2 x (10 + 2) = (2 x 10) + (2 x 2). It is also very useful in that it helps solve different algebraic problems.
The zero product property is used to solve equations using factoring. Ex x2 + 5x = 4 .... 1st rearrange to = 0 x2 - 3x- 4 = 0 .... now factor left side (x-4)(x+1) = 0 .... now make 2 separate equations and solve x-4 = 0 so x = 4 .... x+1 = 0 so x = -1
x*4 = 16Divide both sides by 4 to give x = 4Equals multiplied by equals are equal.
