The commutative property of addition states that the order of adding numbers does not affect the sum. For example, adding 2.5 + 3.7 gives the same result as 3.7 + 2.5, both equaling 6.2. The associative property of addition indicates that when adding three or more numbers, the grouping of the numbers doesn’t change the sum. For instance, (1.2 + 2.3) + 3.4 equals 3.5 + 3.4, which both sum to 6.9.
In the case of addition: Commutative property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Note that (1) the commutative property involves two numbers; the associative property involves three; and (2) the commutative property changes the order of the operands; the associative property doesn't. Repeatedly applying the two properties allow you to rearrange an addition that involves several numbers in any order.

commutative and associative. If the sentence has parentheses then it is associative.
Its commutative property of addition
No, this is the commutative property. For addition, the associative property is: x + (y + z) = (x + y ) + z
In the case of addition: Commutative property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Note that (1) the commutative property involves two numbers; the associative property involves three; and (2) the commutative property changes the order of the operands; the associative property doesn't. Repeatedly applying the two properties allow you to rearrange an addition that involves several numbers in any order.

zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.
Commutatitive property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Although illustrated above for addition, it also applies to multiplication. But not subtraction or division!
The relevant properties are the commutative property, the associative property, and the property of zero (i.e., if you add zero to a number you get the same number again).
The associative and commutative are properties of operations defined on mathematical structures. Both properties are concerned with the order - of operators or operands. According to the ASSOCIATIVE property, the order in which the operation is carried out does not matter. Symbolically, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and so, without ambiguity, either can be written as a + b + c. According to the COMMUTATIVE property the order in which the addition is carried out does not matter. In symbolic terms, a + b = b + a For real numbers, both addition and multiplication are associative and commutative while subtraction and division are not. There are many mathematical structures in which a binary operation is not commutative - for example matrix multiplication.
Commutative: a × b = b × a Associative: (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) Distributive: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
The four fundamental properties in mathematics are the commutative property, associative property, distributive property, and identity property. The commutative property states that the order of addition or multiplication does not affect the result. The associative property indicates that the grouping of numbers does not change their sum or product. The identity property defines that adding zero or multiplying by one does not change the value of a number.
