An operation (such as addition or multiplication) is said to be commutative over a set of members of a set (numbers) if for all operands, the answer is not altered by the order in which they appear.
Basically, for addition, that means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5
Subtraction is NOT commutative since 2 - 3 = -1 while 3 - 2 = 1, which is not the same.

What is the definition of the commutative property of multiplication?
According to the commutative of multiplication, a*b = b*a.
Example of commutative property?
2+3=3=2 commutative
What is the definition of the Commutative Property of Addition?
Changing the order of addends does not change their sum. In symbolic form, a + b =b + a. Subtraction is not commutative .
What is the deffinition of commutative?
Assuming you mean definition, commutative is a property of an operation such that the order of the operands does not affect the result. Thus for addition, A + B = B + A. Multiplication of numbers is also commutative but multiplication of matrices is not. Subtraction and division are not commutative.
5 plus 6 equals 6 plus 5 is an example of the what property?
Commutative Property.
