Commutative Property is your answer

This means that no matter what order it is, the simplified version will still be the same.

hope this helps

The property of 16 + 31 = 31 + 16 is called Commutative Property.

The property states that the order does not matter. This includes both multiplication and addition. Other examples include 4 + 2 = 2 + 4, or even 10 + 9 + 3 = 3 + 9 + 10. In easier words, the problem is just the backwards version of the original problem.
