This is known as the commutative property of addition (and multiplication).
An easy way to remember the property is that the two elements commute, or exchange places, or that one element commutes from one side of the operation to the other, like a commuter (passenger) on a commuter train.
a + b = b + a
The other property concerning addition (and multiplication) of numbers that does not change their sum is the associative property.
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) = a + b + c
Commutative property
It is the Commutative Property which states that changing the order when adding numbers does not affect the result.
Addition and multiplication are commutative. That's the property you're looking for.
The commutative or Abelian property.

The associative property.
The commutative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer.
Commutative
The property being described is the Commutative Property. This property states that the order of elements can be changed without affecting the result in certain operations, such as addition and multiplication.
The Associative Property
Commutative property: When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example 4 * 2 = 2 * 4
