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.

What is the definition of the commutative property of addition using decimal numbers?
The commutative property of addition says that it does not matter in which order you add the numbers, you will get the same result. For example, 5 + 3 = 8 and 3 + 5 = 8.
What is an inverse property of addition?
+8 - 8 = 0 is an example of the inverse property of addition. Inverse Property of Addition-A number added to its opposite integer will always equal zero. (The order does not matter, since it is addition.) [Ex. 3 + (-3) = 0 or (-3) + 3 = 0]
What is the identity property of addition?
identity property is any number added by 3 is equal to number itself. ex. 2+0+2+0+2+0+2=2 or in a simple way just right 2+0=3
Give an example showing that the commutative property does not hold for division of whole numbers?
Here is an example: 4/2 = 2 Commutative property is when you can move numbers around in a problem, and it wouldn't change. This is why it doesn't work in division 2/4 = 1/2 The commutative property applies to only addition and multiplication. It does not apply to division or subtraction. More examples: Addition: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5 Subtraction: 2 - 3 = -1, 3 - 2 = 1 Division: (see above) Multiplication: 3(5) = 5(3) = 15
What is communtitive proporty of addition?
The commutative property of addition states that numbers can be added in any order and get the same answer. Examples: 2+3=3+2=5 4+5+6=5+4+6=15
