u can use the commutative property because that means you can reorder the numbers and it wouldn't change the value or the product of this question.

7x3=21
3x7=21

7x3=21 is the same as doing 3x7=21. This is an example of the commutative property. The commutative property is when you move the numbers around and you get the same answer. One way to think about it is in the word commutative the root word is commute which means to transport or move
