associative - multiplication
symmetric
commutative - multiplication
associative - addition
identity - addition

Answer 1

Commutative - addition.

You're switching a and b to get the same answer. It works with Multiplication too, as you can tell!

Answer 2

commutative - addition property

Explanation:

Given : b + a = a + b

To find : Select the property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member.

Solution : We have given b + a = a + b

By the commutative - addition property : x + y = y +x

Example : 4 +5 = 5 +4

9 = 9.

If we inter change the left member of equation to the right member of the equation it will not affect.

Hence it is shows the commutative - addition property.

Therefore,commutative - addition property
