Commutative

6 + 7 = 7 + 6

12 * 8 = 8 * 12

Associative

(2 + 3) + 6 = 3 + (2 + 6)

(3 + 8) + 2 = 3 + (2 + 8

6 * (7 * 3) = (6 * 7) * 3

Distributive

4 * (3 + 6) = 12 + 24

because:

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

4 * (3 + 6) = (4 * 3) + (4 * 6)

4 * 9 = 12 + 24

36 = 36

4 x (3+6) = 12 + 24 ---->Distributive

3 + ( 8 + 2) = 3 + (2 + 8) ---> Commutative

6 x (7 x 3 ) = (6 x 7 ) x 3 --->Associative
