It means that if you add three numbers, it makes no difference whether you add the two left numbers first, or the two right numbers first. For example:
1 + 2 + 3 = (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3)
where the parentheses indicate what operation is to be done first.
When the terms in a polynomial are commutative, they can be grouped with parentheses in any way.
Associate means to group
It means that in an addition such as: a + b + c it doesn't matter whether you do the addition on the left, or the addition on the right, first. Similar for multiplication.
It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.
Usually addition
The commutative property means that number's positions can be changed, but their answer will stay the same. This property works for addition and multiplication. For example 5+6 = 6+5 or 3x2 = 2x3.
The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.
It does not mean anything.
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
C ; solution means the answer to an addition problem in math .
it means to figure out what kind of property it is
It mean like Commutative Property of Addition
