Adding Rational Numbers Using Properties of Operations we can add integers in any order using the
and
properties of addition.
Consider the integers a, b, c, and -d. We can add this group of
integers in several different ways:
a + (-b) + C+ (-0)
a+c+ (-6) + (-d)
(a + c) + [(-b) + (-d)]
The sum of the integers remains the
regardless of
their arrangement. We can use the commutative and associative
properties to break up numbers by
to find the sum of two or more rational numbers.

Paula makes stained-glass windows and sells them to boutique stores. if her costs total $12,000 per year plus $4 per window for the frame. how many windows must she produce to earn a profit of at least $48,000 in one year if she sells the windows for $28 each? 1. define a variable for the situation. 2. write an inequality that represents her profit. note: revenue is money coming in. cost is money going out. profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. in other words: revenue - costs profit 3.using words, describe how many windows she must sell to have a profit of at least $48,000.
