1. additive commutative law: Two numbers are added, the position of the addend is exchanged, and the sum is unchanged. Expressed in letters: a+b = b+a.
Example 40+56=96 56+40=96
So 40+56=56+40
Second, the law of addition and association: when three numbers are added, the first two numbers are added first, or the last two numbers are added first, and the sum is unchanged.
Expressed in letters: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
Example 88+104+96 88+104+96
=(88+ 104)+96 =88+( 104+96)
= 192+96 =88+200
=288 =288
So (88+104)+96 = 88+(104+96)
Additive commutative law and additive associative laws can be used simultaneously.
Example:115+132+118+85.
=115+85+132+118 ... additive commutative law
= (115+85)+(132+118) … additive associative law.
=200+250
=450
Third, the essence of subtraction.
If a number subtracts two numbers continuously, the sum of these two numbers can be subtracted; You can also subtract the first subtraction and then the second subtraction, and the result remains the same. Expressed in letters: a-b-c=a-(b+c)
Example 234-66-34 234-66-34 234-66-34
= 168-34 =234-(66+34) =234-34-66
= 134 =234- 100 =200-66
= 134
