it any number can multiply by the same its commutative
commutative property 9X3
That's what the communtitive property is, changing the order. like 4+5=9; 5+4=9. So 4x5=20 and 5x4=20.
The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240
An axiom in algebra is the stepping stone to solving equations. In order to solve and equation you know how to use the commutative, associative, distributive, transitive and equalilty axiom to solve the basic steps. For example: if you want an equation in the form y = mx + b, given 6x - 3y = 9 you must subtract 6x from both sides giving: -3y = 9-6x. Then you divide by -3 to get y = -3 + 2x. But the equation is not in the from y = mx + b. So we use the commutative property to switch the -3 + 2x and make it 2x - 3. Now it become y = 2x -3. and it is in the form y = mx + b. This manipulation could not be perfromed unless tahe student knew the commutative property. Once the axiom is know the algebraic manipulations fall into place.
It does not use parentheses.
it cant, its just a useful thing that you will be tested on and asked to know this stuff for the rest of your life probably for no reason because there is no reason to use this in the real world so there ya go, sorry!
commutative property of multiplication
it depends how the operation is
you can not use commutative property for subtraction because if you switch them around you will end up with a negative number.
you can use commutative property anywhere as long as u keep the symbol -,+ and division and multiplacation ex 2 x 3 - 9 = 2-9 x 3
The commutative property isn't of much use in this situation, since it states that 5 x 4 = 4 x 5 Either way, it equals 20.
There are three basic properties of numbers: Associative, Commutative, and Distributive. The commutative property says that b + a = a + b and a * b = b * a.

3x6=18 and 6x3=18
Commutative property means that the numbers can be in any order and give the same amount. So 5 x 4 = 4 x 5. Just switch 'em!
