When you have an expression consisting of several terms added together, and they are not all like terms, and there are like terms separated by unlike terms, you use the commutative law of addition to rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.

What does to increase number mean?
It mean like Commutative Property of Addition
What is communative property look like?
No idea what the communative property is. The commutative property for addition is that a + b = b + a. Similarly, for multiplication, a*b = b*a
What property is shown by 8 times 2 equals 2 times 8?
This is called the commutative property of multiplication. Like addition, the order of the numbers does not matter: the product is the same.Compare this with subtraction and division which are not commutative.
What does community property mean in math terms?
I believe you may be thinking of the commutative property. If so, it's a property of a binary operator (one that takes 2 arguments, like addition) that means changing the order of the arguments doesn't change the outcome. For example, addition is commutative: 1 + 3 = 4 and 3 + 1 = 4. This works regardless of the arguments. Subtraction, on the other hand, is NOT commutative: 1 - 3 = -2 and 3 - 1 = 2. In some cases (when the arguments are both the same) changing the order wouldn't matter, but the commutative property means that it works for any arguments, so subtraction doesn't have it.

What is commutativity property?
something like 5x4=4x5.
What is like commutative property of addition?
The commutative property of addition can be stated as: a+b = b+a
What does to increase number mean?
It mean like Commutative Property of Addition
What are the same property like Associative property and Commutative property?
Basic number properties (including three properties) and distributive property.
What is combining like terms?
In Math combining like terms is like so if the equation is 4a+4=2a you combined the 4 and the 5 because they are both A

What can you simplify an expression by combining what?
Like Terms and Variables
What are the rules for combining like terms?
When combining like terms like 2x+3x we add their coeffitients, for example 2x+3x=(2+3)x=5x
