Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. If your question is not answered, please resubmit it, spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. Also use ^ to indicate powers (x^2) or x-squared.

In this case, you probably typed something like, "If a>b, then a-c > b-c". This would be called the subtraction property of inequality, and is one of the rules used to solve inequalities.

What does multiplication property of inequality mean?

If a < b, and c is positive, then ac < bcIf a < b, and c is negative, then ac > bc(inequality swaps over!)


What type of reaction is the generic equation A plus BC AC plus B?

A+BC+AC+B=A+BC+AC+B unless any of these variables has an assigned value.


Why does distributive property of addition over multiplication only works when the fractions are equal to 1?

There is no distributive property of addition over multiplication. The equation works if a + (b * c) = (a + b)*(a + c) = a2 + ab +ac +bc =&gt; a + bc = a2 + ab +ac +bc ie a = a2 + ab + ac = a*(a+b+c) and that, in turn requires that a = 0 or a+b+c = 1 If a, b and c are fractions than the second condition requires the fractions to sum to 1 - not be equal to 1.

Does distributive property apply to complex numbers?

Yes, for example (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bic + bidi, and commutative property works as well --&gt; ac + adi + bci + bdi&Acirc;&sup2; --&gt; ac + (ad + bc)i + bd(-1) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i


How is a plus b over a minus b equals c plus d over c minus d?

(a + b)/(a - b) = (c + d)/(c - d) cross multiply(a + b)(c - d) = (a - b)(c + d)ac - ad + bc - bd = ac + ad - bc - bd-ad + bc = -bc + ad-ad - ad = - bc - bc-2ad = -2bcad = bc that is the product of the means equals the product of the extremesa/b = b/c


What does a replacement reaction look like?

A+bc---&gt; b+ac


Can AC plus AD plus BC plus BD can be factored as (A plus C)(B plus D)?

Yes, the expression AC + AD + BC + BD can be factored as (A + C)(B + D). This is evident by applying the distributive property, where expanding (A + C)(B + D) yields AB + AD + BC + CD. The terms AC and BD are not present, so the expression can be expressed in a different form, but the original expression itself represents a different factoring structure.
