Arithmetic Properties
Associative Property
In addition and multiplication, terms may be arbitrarily associated with each other through the use of parentheses:
a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c a(bc) = (ab)c
Commutative Property
In addition and multiplication, terms may be arbitrarily interchanged, or commutated:
a + b = b + a ab = ba
Distributive Property
In equations where added terms are also multiplied by another term(s), the term(s) may be arbitrarily distributed to the added terms:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
