Oh, I agree, and they often do act like idiots over such things. Frickin prima donnas.

I dunno about math, but the English PRAXIS was pretty easy for me. And you just have to pass it.
Yes, but... it's a TEST! How can I live with myself if I don't do really well? Of course, this will mean remembering the difference between the associative and commutative properties. Which shouldn't be that difficult, it's just I have a block. I think associative is (a+b)+c = a+(b+c) and commutative is a+b = b+a. But I'm not sure.

That's right. Associative is that you can change which numbers associate with each other first. Commutative is that the numbers can move around, like commuting from one side of the plus sign to the other. (At least, that's how I'm able to remember it.)

And what about transitive? Is that a=b implies a+c=b+c?
ETA: Of course I could google it. But I like talking to you people!

Transitive is a=b and b=c -> a=c (or with < or > replacing the =s)
Hil is very clever. All I can think of when I see "commutative principle" is "What's purple and commutes?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Equality is transitive because a = b and b = c implies that a = c.

Okay, that's what I thought. So then what property is involved in the proof that a+z = b+z => a=b?

Hey. New board.
So then what property is involved in the proof that a+z = b+z => a=b?
Quite.
