What is the sum of 5+2 or 2+5?
Why is the sum the same?

The sum is the same because the order you add in doesn't matter for example 1+2 and 2+1 both are the same.

The sum of 5+2=7
The sum of 2+5=7
The sum is the same because basically, the position and location of the numbers do not matter in addition and multiplication. However, the position matters in subtraction and division.

Hope that helps!
