Answer:


y+j=j+y

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property for the addition states that when the order of two (or more) numbers is changed, the result of the addition does not change.

Mathematically, this means that:


a+b=b+a

where a, b are two numbers.

In this problem, we have the following addition:


y+j

By applying the commutative property, we can swap the order of the two variables y and j, and the result will remain the same. So we can write:


y+j=j+y
