Associative Property

Commutative Property

Opposite of the Sum Property

Answer 1

this is the Commutative Property of addition. called Commutative because the numbers move around to the other order, or "commute"

Answer 2

commutative property

Explanation:

`7.2 + (-5.5) = -5.5 + 7.2`

Associative property:

In associative property, we can add or multiply the numbers by grouping the numbers in any order

Commutative Property

In commutative property, we can add or multiply the numbers by changing the order of numbers

`7.2 + (-5.5) = -5.5 + 7.2`

Here the order of numbers are changed. So commutative property is applied to this equation.
