Properties
- The Commutative Property of Addition ( x + y = y + x )
- The Commutative Property of Multiplication ( x y = y x )
- The Associative Property of Addition ( x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z )
- The Associative Property of Multiplication ( x (y z) = (x y) z )
- The Distributive Property ( x (y + z) = xy + yz )
- The Additive Identity Property ( x + 0 = x)
- The Additive Inverse Property ( -x is additive inverse of x, as x + (-x) = 0 )
- The Multiplicative Identity Property ( x * 1 = x )
- The Multiplicative Inverse Property ( 1/x is the multiplicative inverse of x, as x * 1/x = 1 )
