| Commutative Property of Addition | When adding, the order is not important. a + b = b + a
🗑
|
||||
| Commutative Property of Multiplication | When multiplying, the order is not important. ab = ba
🗑
|
||||
| Associative Property of Addition | When adding, the grouping is not important. a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
🗑
