Question

Describe the Commutative Property of Addition and the Associative property of Addition.?

Answer 1

Commutative: `1+3=3+1`

Associative: `1+3=4`

Explanation:

The Commutative Property of Addition describes how two numbers that are being added can be switched around, for example:

`5+4=4+5`

The Associative Property of Addition says that numbers can be added no matter how they are grouped, for example

`5+2+4=5+2+4`

`(color(red)(5+2))+4=5+(color(blue)(2+4))`

`color(red)7+4=5+color(blue)6`

`11=11`
