We have 2 given numbers:
=> 86 + 68 + 38 = 192
=> 68 + 38 + 86 = 192 also
This kind of process used commutative property system of equation in where:
a + b = b + a
No matter what sequence you are going to use, the answer would always be the same.
In the given 2 equations, notice that both digits of 2 group of equation contains the same number. The only difference is they were added with different orders. Yet the answers are still the same.
