Try it out. 3 + 9 = 9 + 3 That works. 3 x 9 = 9 x 3 That works. 3 - 9 = 9 - 3 That doesn't work. 3/9 = 9/3 That doesn't work. The numbers came first. The commutative law was only devised because of the relationship of the numbers. It isn't that the commutative property doesn't work for other operations, it's that the other operations aren't commutative.
No, it does not.
Not sure what "would not work" in this case. The corresponding commutative property states that 5x4 is the same as 4x5.
it is the commutative property of addition
Yes. Both the commutative property of addition, and the commutative property of multiplication, works:* For integers * For rational numbers (i.e., fractions) * For any real numbers * For complex numbers
Addition and multiplication

you can not use commutative property for subtraction because if you switch them around you will end up with a negative number.

Commutative property. To remember what the commutative property does, think of the word: commute.A person commutes to work each day. He changes his position (he's at home, then he's at work).In the commutative property of multiplication, the terms can move around or change position and the result will be the same.
if a,b are any two numbers then a+b=b+a
Subtraction is neither commutative property or association property because commutative property of multiplication is when you change the order of the factors the product stays the same and it isn't associated property because you can change the grouping of the factors the product stays the same you can't do that first attraction it wouldn't work it would be a negative zero.
No. 3/6 = 0.5 while 6/3 = 2
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
