Answer: Choice C

2 x 3 = 3 x 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication says we can multiply any two numbers in any order we want. The general rule is a x b = b x a, where x represents the multiplication symbol. The 'a' and 'b' can be any two numbers you want.

Choice C shows an example of this. Either side simplifies to 6.

Another example would be 4 x 5 = 5 x 4 where both sides become 20.
