The property illustrated by the statement \(2 + 7 + 3 = 2 + 7 + 3\) is the **Commutative Property of Addition**. This property states that the order in which numbers are added does not change the sum. However, since both sides of the equation are identical, this is also a trivial example highlighting the reflexive property of equality, which states that any quantity is equal to itself.
If you meant to emphasize the underlying operations rather than just the notation, the commutative property is what allows us to rearrange numbers but still arrive at the same result.
