Section 1.3 Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Perimeter 3 + 4 = 7 addend addend sum Addition Property of 0 The sum of 0 and any number is that number. 8 + 0 = 8 and 0 + 8 = 8 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 2 Commutative Property of Addition Changing the order of two addends does not change their sum. 4 + 2 = 6 and 2 + 4 = 6 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 3 Associative Property of Addition Changing the grouping of addends does not change their sum. 3 + (4 + 2) = 3 + 6 = 9 and (3 + 4) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 4 Subtraction Properties of 0 The difference of any number and that same number is 0. 9-9=0 The difference of any number and 0 is the same number. 7-0=7 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 5 A polygon is a flat figure formed by line segments connected at their ends. Geometric figures such as triangles, squares, and rectangles are called polygons. triangle square Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed rectangle 6 Finding the Perimeter of a Polygon The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around the polygon. Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 7 Descriptions of problems solved through addition may include any of these key words or phrases: Key Words Examples Symbols added to 3 added to 9 3+9 plus 5 plus 22 5 + 22 more than 7 more than 8 7+8 total total of 6 and 5 6+5 increased by 16 increased by 7 16 + 7 sum sum of 50 and 11 50 + 11 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 8 Descriptions of problems solved by subtraction may include any of these key words or phrases: Key Words Examples Symbols subtract subtract 3 from 9 9-3 difference difference of 8 and 2 8-2 less 12 less 8 12 - 8 take away 14 take away 9 14 - 9 decreased by subtracted from 16 decreased by 7 5 subtracted from 9 16 - 7 9-5 Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 9 Helpful Hint Be careful when solving applications that suggest subtraction. Although order does not matter when adding, order does matter when subtracting. For example, 10 – 3 and 3 – 10 do not simplify to the same number. Martin-Gay, Prealgebra, 5ed 10 Helpful Hint Since subtraction and addition are reverse operations, don’t forget that a subtraction problem can be checked by adding.
