Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of numbers we're adding does not change the sum.

So given a = - d - r + c and a = - r + c - d, we can see that in both equations the sign before each variable is the same and only the order was changed, therefore the result will be the same for both equations
