    The commutative property allows us to change the order of multiplication without affecting the product or answer. The associative property allows us to regroup without affecting the product or answer.

Similarly, the expressions in an equation remain balanced when we add the same quantity to both sides of the equation. In this section, we will solve equations, remembering that what we do to one side of the equation, we must also do to the other side.

In general \[\fbox{\Large \boldmath a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c}\] The general property (using \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\)) does not exist. The picture illustrates the Associative Property of Multiplication. For the automatic number to work, you need to add the "AutoNum" template (preferably at the end) to the page. Division is not associative, the general property (using \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\)) does not exist.

If this is true, then the language of mathematics is numbers. The earliest use of numbers occurred 100 centuries ago in the Middle East to count, or enumerate items. Because of the evolution of number systems, we can now perform complex calculations using these and other categories of real numbers. In this section, we will explore sets of numbers, calculations with different kinds of numbers, and the use of numbers in expressions.

El hecho de que\(1 \cdot \text{ any number} = \text{that particular number}\) sea un ejemplo de la propiedad de la multiplicación.
