Answer: 4. Commutative postulate for addition

Explanation:

The commutative postulate for addition says that for any real number a and b

a+b=b+a

It tells that order doesn't matter if we add two numbers , the answer will remain same

The given expression is
3 + 2 = 2 + 3, where 3 and 2 are real numbers.

Since


3 + 2 =5\\2 + 3=5

Therefore,
3 + 2 = 2 + 3 by Commutative postulate for addition.
