what is communitive property

Question

I always get confuse on the property stuff.

Answer 1

the commutative property of addition says that you can change the order of the addends without changing the sum

3+7=7+3

10=10

the commutative property of multiplication says that you can change the order of the factors without changing the product

5*6=6*5

30=30

there is no commutative property of subtraction and there is no commutative property of division

8-6≠6-8

2≠-2

10/5≠5/10

2≠1/2
