2.1 For use with pages 63 68 GOAL Use properties of addition and multiplication. VOCABULARY Lesson 2.1 Commutative Property of Addition: In a sum, you can add the numbers in any order. Associative Property of Addition: Changing the grouping of the numbers in a sum does not change the sum. Commutative Property of Multiplication: In a product, you can multiply the numbers in any order. Associative Property of Multiplication: Changing the grouping of the numbers in a product does not change the product. Identity Property of Addition: The sum of a number and the additive identity, 0, is the number. Identity Property of Multiplication: The product of a number and the multiplicative identity, 1, is the number.

2.2 GOAL For use with pages 71 75 Use the distributive property. VOCABULARY Two numerical expressions that have the same value are called equivalent numerical expressions. Two variable expressions that have the same value for all values of the variable(s) are called equivalent variable expressions. EXAMPLE 1 Evaluating Numerical Expressions You are raising money for a field trip. The school matches your earnings. You earn $125 selling sandwiches and $95 at a car wash. Find the amount you have toward your field trip with the school s contribution. Lesson 2.2 Method 1: Find the amount you earned. Then multiply the result by 2, because your earnings are matched by the school. Total amount toward trip 2(125 95) 2(220) 440 Method 2: Find the amount earned and matched for selling sandwiches and the amount earned and matched for washing cars. Then add the amounts. Total amount toward trip 2(125) 2(95) 250 190 440 Answer: You have $440 for your field trip. Exercise for Example 1 1. You and a friend each spend $5 on a movie ticket and $4 on snacks. Write and evaluate two expressions that can be used to find the amount you both spent. EXAMPLE 2 Using the Distributive Property You buy 5 shorts for $15.02 each. Use the distributive property and mental math to find the total cost of the shorts. Total cost 5(15.02) Write expression for total cost. 5(15 0.02) Rewrite 15.02 as 15 0.02. 5(15) 5(0.02) Distributive property 75 0.10 75.10 Multiply, then add, using mental math.
