Question

Name the property that the following statement illustrates.

71 +3= 3+71
Choose the correct property below.
A. Associative property of addition
B. Associative property of multiplication
C. Identity property of addition
D. Commutative property of addition
E. Commutative property of multiplication
F. Identity property of multiplication

Answer 1

(D.) Commutative Property of Addition.

Explanation:

The rule of Commutative Property of Addition is as follows:

a + b = b + a,

so in theory, if the case were 2 + 3 = 3 + 2, they would be the same.

And 71 + 3 = 3 + 71 because both are equal to 74 and it matches the a + b = b + a rule.
