This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
When you change the order of the factors in a multiplication equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Multiplication. This property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Similarly, when you change the order of the addends in an addition equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Addition. This property states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.
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 .
Commutative property or Abelian property.
According to the commutative property of addition, the order of the addends does not affect the result. Thus, A + B = B + A

Commutative property: When two numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends. For example 4 + 2 = 2 + 4
According to the commutative property of addition, the order of the addends does not affect the result. Thus, A + B = B + A
Whichever one changes the order of the addends. a + b = b + a
No, that's the Commutative Property of Addition.
Cummutative Property=> The order of addends [does not] change the sum!
The property of addition that states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum is called the commutative property of addition. In this case, the commutative property of addition allows us to rearrange the addends 2 and 3 as 3 and 2 without changing the sum. Therefore, 2 + 3 is equal to 3 + 2, both of which equal 5.
The order in which the addends (in addition) or multiplicands (in multiplication) does not affect the answer. If symbolic form: a + b = b + a or a * b = b * a
Commutative property: When two numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends. For example 4 + 2 = 2 + 4
