Well, you found one case where the answers are the same. That's probably not enough to
formulate a law of mathematics. You ought to at least try and find one or two more cases.
If you can find a couple more examples, then we can examine the new law you suggested.
If you can't find another one, then you haven't a leg to stand on.
Even more important . . . If we can find a pair of numbers whose sum and product are not
equal, then you might as well forget about it.
Like 2 and 3.
2 + 3 = 5, but 2 x 3 = 6. Honk! Not equal! The buzzer says forget about it.
===============================================
Surprise, surprise! We just spent a few more minutes playing with this, and found a whole
series of pairs of numbers for which it does work.
For any two numbers (a, b) such that b=a/(a-1), you'll get (a+b) = ab .
Examples: 3 and 1.5, 4 and 4/3, 5 and 5/4, 50 and 50/49 .
But that doesn't say that addition is the same as multiplication. It says that it's possible
to find pairs of numbers whose sum is the same as their product, but if the numbers are
not one of the special pairs, then their sum and product are not equal.
Multiplication by an integer is the same as repeated addition.
It would be the same number either way because its addition.
The commutative property of addition states that a number plus another number equals the same number plus the same number in reverse order. An example of this is 2+5=5+3.
Indeed, these two equations are the same - because addition is a commutative function.
Yes it is, because it is addition, and the answer would be the same both ways.
Multiplication by an integer is the same as repeated addition.
This is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
An addition equation is the same thing even if the numbers are switched around.
the addition property for 6 plus 7 equals 7 plus 6 is the commutative property. This property states that - when two numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends.
It would be the same number either way because its addition.

repeated addition or multiplication
Addition is the same no matter what order it is in. If x is 2, then 2+3=5 and 3+2=5 are the same. They are all in the same fact family. Multiplication is the same no matter what order it is in as well. x times 3 is the same as 3 times x If x is 2, then 2*3=6 and 3*2=6 Fact families!
10.5 As a general point, if all the values are the same it's easier to calculate it as a multiplication. In this example, the answer found from (1.5 X 7).
The 4 basic arithmetic operations are addition, multiplication, division, and subtraction. subtraction is the inverse (opposite) of addition the same way around and the same concept as division and multiplication.
