Answer: Commutative Property Of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

This property is where we have A+B = B+A. In other words, adding two numbers can be done in any order. This can be extended to more than two values also.

So, 4+6 = 6+4 since both sides result in 10.

Overall it leads to 2+(4+6) = 2+(6+4) being a true equation as well. Both sides simplify to 12.
