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 property that allows you to regroup terms when adding or multiplying without changing the answer is called the Associative Property. For addition, it states that (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), and for multiplication, it states that (a × b) × c = a × (b × c). This property ensures that the way numbers are grouped does not affect the sum or product.
The property that allows you to change the grouping of addends without changing the sum is called the associative property of addition. It states that you can regroup numbers being added or multiplied without affecting the final result.
The commutative property of addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not affect the sum. In other words, if ( a ) and ( b ) are any two numbers, then ( a + b = b + a ). This property highlights the flexibility in rearranging terms without changing the result of the addition.
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.
