Answer: Commutative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the rule which says that we can add two numbers in any order.

For example, 3+2 = 2+3 since both sides result in 5. The rule can be extended to involve variables, because variables are placeholders for actual numbers. Also, the rule can be extended to any number of terms and not just two.

A more generalized form of the rule could be something like x+y = y+x
