An operation is commutative if you can change the orderof the numbers involved without changing the result. Addition and multiplication are both commutative. Subtraction is not commutative: 2 - 1 is not equal to 1 - 2.

Oh dear!
Multiplication is commutative for ordinary numbers but not for matrices, so not a correct answer. But what has any of this to do with the question?
The distributive property states that
a(b+c)=ab+ac
you take the numbers on the inside and multiply them by the number(s) on the outside.

They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.
