Help me and my kid again with properties???

O.K. well the directions say this,”Complere the sentence so that it is an application of the distributive property.” THen here are the problem….

____=15a-20b

Another one is this,” Answer the following questions”…

1 What is the identity element for addition? I put “+” is that ok?

2. What is the identity element for mulitiplication? I put “x”

Then theres one like this (I REALLY don’t get this)

What is the additive inverse of 5?

AND

What is the multiplicative inverse of -1/2?

Finally there is a section like this…

A)state whether the following are closed or not closed

B)Give a counter example for the ones that are not closed.

1. Whole numbers under subtraction?

a)_____ b)_____

2. Integers under multiplication?

a)_____ b)_____

3. Integers under deivision?

a)_____ b)_____

4.Integers under subtraction?

My kid needs this! Her dumb teacher doesn’t teach any of this… I’m not gonna let my kid get a low grade cuz of it.

5(3a – 4b)

1) The identity element for addition is 0. When you add 0, nothing changes.

2) The identity element for multiplication is 1.

The additive inverse of 5 is -5.

The multiplicative inverse of -1/2 is -2

1) The whole numbers are open under subtraction. 3 – 5 = -2

2) The integers are closed under multiplication.

3) The integers are open under division. 1/2 = .5

4) The integers are closed under subtraction.
