Question

Match each term to their definition. 1. additive identity the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 2. distributive property equation containing more than one variable 3. literal equation a(b +
c. = ab + ac or a(b -
c. = ab - ac 4. multiplicative identity the number 1 (for the real numbers) 5. multiplicative inverse the number 0 (for the real numbers)

Answer 1

Answers: 
1.) the number 0 (for the real numbers) 

2.) a(b+c)= ab + ac or a(b -c) = ab - ac  

3.) equation containing more than one variable 

4.) the number 1 (for the real numbers) 

5.) the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse
