Answer: What is the commutative property of addition? To “commute” means to move around or travel. According to the commutative property of addition, changing the order of the numbers we are adding, does not change the sum. Here's an example of how the sum does NOT change, even if the order of the addends is changed and The commutative property of multiplication

states that when two numbers are being multiplied, their order can be changed without affecting the product.

Step-by-step explanation: Have a blessed day hopefully this helped!
