Commutative property basically states that numbers can be added or subtracted in any order?

The commutative property is that the order of the operands (numbers) does not matter. So:It is true for: Adding numbers: 1 + 2 = 2 + 1 = 3Multiplying numbers: 2 x 3 = 3 x 2 = 6It is false for: Subtracting numbers: 1 - 2 = -1 ≠ 2 - 1 = 1Dividing numbers: 3 ÷ 6 = 1/2 ≠ 6 ÷ 3 = 2
