2 exists and it's positive (2=+2)
and if x=1 then -1+x+1=1
and -1x1=-1
studentxlol said:-1, 1, +1
-2, 2, +2
studentxlol said:I'm thinking like there has to be something in between a positive and negative number that links those two numbers together so like.. -2, x +2 what is x??
Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum. Multiplication, on the other hand, is the process of repeated addition where a number is added to itself a certain number of times.
To add or multiply more than two numbers, you can use the associative property, which states that the grouping of numbers does not affect the result. This means that you can add or multiply any two numbers first, then add or multiply the third number to the result, and so on.
The commutative property states that the order of the numbers does not affect the result in addition and multiplication. This means that you can add or multiply the numbers in any order and still get the same result.
To solve a number question with multiple operations, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. This stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This ensures that you solve the operations in the correct order and get the correct result.
The distributive property states that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each addend separately and then adding the products. For example, 5 x (3 + 2) is the same as (5 x 3) + (5 x 2) = 15 + 10 = 25.
