Lesson 1.5
Properties of
Real Numbers
➢ If changing the order gives the same result, the instruction
is commutative.
➢ When an instruction contains the same operation twice
and it does not matter which one is done first, we say that
the operation is associative.
Properties of Addition
A. Closure Property
➢ If a and b are real numbers, then the sum c is also a real number.
Examples:

B. Commutative Property
➢ If a and b are real numbers, then
Examples:
