The '^' symbol acts as 'to the power of' so that the term "" three to the power of 2 "" can be written as "3^2", which means 3 X 3.

Multiplication can be shown by either 'x' or '*'. If variables are present, the * will be used, such as 5x * 3, but if no variables are used, it will be written as 5 x 3.

The associative property of addition says that you can "change the groupings" of numbers in addition, but the answer will be the same. For example (4 + 5) + 6 = 4 + (5 + 6). Which example shows the associative property of multiplication? (* is the symbol for multiplication).
- A.
  
  8 * 7 = 7 * 8
- B.
  
  2 * 4 * 6 = 4 * 6 * 2
- C.
  
  (9 + 8) + 7 = 9 + (8 + 7)
- D.
  
  (5 * 6) * 7 = 7 * (6 * 5)
Explanation
The answer has to be C, D, or E, because they are the only three with ( ... ) Answer C is addition, so it cannot be the answer. Look closely at answer D. The (group) does not change, they are still 5 and 6.

The elevator starts on the fifth floor and travels to the tenth floor with three people on board. Then, two more people get on and everyone travels to the 13th floor, where four people get off. Two more people get on and everyone travels to the 18th floor. Finally, five more people get on and the elevator goes down to the second floor. Three more people get on and the elevator goes down four floors to the basement. Therefore, the elevator traveled a total of 33 floors from start to finish.

  8 + 4 + 9 + (-8) = 13
Correct Answer
C. -2 x 5 x -9 = -90

Explanation
The statement "-2 x 5 x -9 = -90" is true because when multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive. In this case, -2 x -9 = 18, and then multiplying 18 by 5 results in -90.
