Add 18 to your birth month
Multiply by 25
Subtract 333
Multiply by 8
Subtract 554
Divide by 2
Add your birth date
Multiply by 5
Add 692
Multiply by 20
Add only the last two digits of your birth year
Subtract 32940 to get your birthday!

Multiply the first number of your age by 5.
Add 3.
Double this figure.
Add the second number your age to the figure
Deduct 6 and you will have their age.
• Whenever you solve for a variable you are
unknowingly using different algebraic
properties.
• The algebraic properties that we will look at are:

Multiplication Property
Division Property
Substitution Property
Distributive Property
Reflexive Property
Symmetric Property
Transitive Property
Let’s try one
• 2x – 5 = x + 12
Given
• 2x = x + 17
Addition Property
• X = 17
Subtraction Property

Using the properties to prove
statements
• Algebraic proofs require you to solve the
problem algebraically and then state the
property that allows you to do each step.
• Proofs that are more geometric require you to do
the same thing, but are slightly more abstract.
Proving two angles are supplementary.
• Angle ABC and CBD are a linear pair
• m ABC + m CBD = 180°
Given
Def. Linear
Pair
• Angle ABC and CBD are supplementary Def.
Supplementary
Show that the areas are the same.
