Real Number Properties and
Basic Word Problems
Natural Numbers……

Known as “Counting” Numbers

Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…….
Whole Numbers……


You add the number 0 to the natural
numbers.
Example: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…….
Integers……


Integers are made up of whole numbers
and their opposites.
Example: …-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4….
Rational Numbers……

The set of rational numbers is made up
of all of the following
a. Natural Numbers
b. Whole Numbers
c. Integers

The Number Line……


A number line consists of positive numbers
(right of 0) and negative numbers (left of 0).
A real life example of a number line is a
temperature thermometer.

zero.
Make the Comparison……


7 degrees below 0 is
(warmer/colder)
than 4 degrees
above 0.

Sets and Subsets……



A set is a group of numbers.
Example: Set A = {1,2,3,4,5}
A subset is a group of numbers in which every
member is in another set.
Example: Set B = {1,2,3}
So, B is a subset of A.
Which of the following would represent a
subset of integers?





those that are NOT
integers.

Inequalities…..


We use inequalities to compare
numbers.
The following are inequalities:




Examples…….


“4 is less than 7” - 4  7
“9 is greater than or equal to 5” -
95

Least to Greatest……


This means to arrange numbers in the
order from the smallest to the largest.
HINT: If there are fractions it might be
easier to convert to decimals first.

Commutative PropertyChanges Order

For Addition

For Multiplication
A+B = B+A
Ex. 2+3 = 5
3+2 = 5
2+3=3+2
AB = BA
Ex.
4(8) = 32
8(4) = 32
4(8) = 8(4)
THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR
SUBTRACTION OR DIVISION!
Associative PropertyChanges Grouping

For Addition
A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
Ex.
5 + (2 + 4)
=5+6
= 11
(5 + 2) + 4
=7+4
= 11
5 + (2 + 4) = (5 + 2) + 4

For Multiplication
A(BC) = (AB)C
Ex.
2 (3 5)
= 2(15)
= 30
(2 3) 5
= (6)5
= 30
2 x (3 x 5) = (2 x 3) x 5
This is not true for subtraction or division!
Which Property?

4)
5)
6)
3x 4 = 4 3x
6y + (7 + 3z) = (6y +7) +3z
(5x + 7) + 8y = 5x + (7 + 8y)
(3x)(2x + 5) = (2x + 5)(3x)
10x + 4y = 4y + 10x
(2x 5)(10y) = (2x)(5 10y)
Distributive Property
A (B + C) = AB + AC A (B – C) = AB – AC
(B + C) A = BA + CA (B – C) A = BA – CA
Ex. -3 (4 – 2x)
Strategy: Think -3 (4 – 2x) means -3 (4 + -2x)
= -3(4) + (-3)(-2x)
= -12 + 6x
TRY THESE:
A) 4 (6 +2a)
B) -7 (-3m – 5)
Which Property?
1)
-3x(y + 2) + 4y = -3x(y) – 3x(2) + 4y
2)
-3y + 4x(y + 2) = -3y + 4xy + 4x(2)
3)
6x + (3y + 1) = (3y +1) + 6x
