What does the Commutative Property state?

Back

The Commutative Property states that the order in which you add or multiply numbers does not change the result. For example, a + b = b + a and a x b = b x a.

What is the Associative Property?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way in which numbers are grouped when adding or multiplying does not change the result. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and (a x b) x c = a x (b x c).
