Which of the following correctly demonstrates the Commutative Property of Addition?(1 point)

Responses

5z9+8a=8a+5z9
5 z superscript 9 baseline plus 8 a equals 8 a plus 5 z superscript 9 baseline

5+8=4+9
5 plus 8 equals 4 plus 9

0+5z9=5z9
0 plus 5 z superscript 9 baseline equals 5 z superscript 9 baseline

z9⋅5=5z9

The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. In other words, \( a + b = b + a \).

Among the provided options, the correct demonstration of the Commutative Property of Addition is:

5z9 + 8a = 8a + 5z9

This equation shows that the sum of \( 5z9 \) and \( 8a \) is equal to the sum of \( 8a \) and \( 5z9 \), demonstrating the commutative property.
