It is so too equal! Multiplication is commutative.

Unless A and B are matrices. Matrix multiplication is NOT commutative. Whether or not AxB = BxA depends upon the definition of the binary operator x [multiply] in the domain over which it is defined.

I don't think this means multiplication. I think it is talking about the Cartesian cross product. Either way, if A and B are matrices, then, no, it is not equal because matrix multiplication is NOT commutative.
