What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum. For example, 4 + 5 = 5 + 4.

What is the Inverse Property of Addition?

Back

The Inverse Property of Addition states that for every number, there is an opposite number (or additive inverse) that, when added together, equals zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
