You can only add numbers in ascending order.

You can add numbers in any order.

You cannot add numbers in any order.

You can add numbers only if they are the same.

3 + 5 = 5 + 3

4 * 7 = 7 * 4

8 / 4 = 4 / 8

6 - 2 = 2 - 6

a + (b * c) = a + b * c

a * (b - c) = a * b + a * c

a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c

a - (b + c) = a - b + c
