Vocabulary• A mathematical quantity is anything that can be measured or counted.

Some quantities remain constant. Others change, or vary, and are called variable quantities.

• Algebra uses symbols to represent quantities that are unknown or that vary. You can represent mathematical phrases and real–world relationships using symbols and operations.

• A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, that represents the value(s) of a variable quantity.

• An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that includes one or more variables.

• A numerical expression is a mathematical phrase involving numbers and operation symbols, but no variables.

Key Words

• Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning logically from given facts to a conclusion.

• To show that a statement is not true, find an example for which it is not true. An example showing that a statement is false is a counterexample.

Using Deductive Reasoning and Counterexamples

Is the statement true or false? If it is false, give a counterexample.

• For all real numbers a and b, 𝑎 × 𝑏 = 𝑎 + 𝑏.

• For all real numbers a, b, and c, 𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 = 𝑏 + 𝑎 + 𝑐 .

• For all real numbers j and k, 𝑗 × 𝑘 = 𝑘 + 0 × 𝑗.

• For all real numbers m and n, 𝑚 𝑛 + 1 = 𝑚𝑛 + 1.

Practice

Use deductive reasoning to tell whether each statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. If true, use properties of real numbers to show the expressions are equivalent.

• For all real numbers r, s, and t, 𝑟 × 𝑠 × 𝑡 = 𝑡 × 𝑠 × 𝑟
