Answer 1

Commutative Property of Addition

Explanation:

If you are adding six and four together, the commutative property of addition says that you will get the same answer whether you are adding 6 + 4 or 4 + 6.

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving numbers around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 6 + 4 = 4 + 6.
