Question

The commutative property of addition says that changing the order of addends does not change the sum.Select one:TrueFalse

Answer 1

TRUE

Explanations:

Given two integers A and B according to commutative law, if these two integers are added no matter the arrangement of the integers, the sum of the integers will not be affected.

According to the commutative law;

`A+B=B+A`

For instance, let us assume the integers are 4 and 5 where A = 4 and B = 5. Applying the commutative law to the sum, we will have;

`\begin{gathered} 4+5=9 \\ 5+4=9 \\ \text{Hence, 4 + 5 = 5 + 4 (Commutative law of addition)} \end{gathered}`

Based on the above postulate, we can conclude that the commutative property of addition says that changing the order of addends does not change the sum
