Question

which of the following correctly demonstrates the commutative property of addition

a. 123 + 456 = 579
b. abc + xyz = xyz + abc
c. 0+579=579
d. abcxyz = zyxcba

Answer 1

The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.

Among the options given, the correct demonstration of the commutative property of addition is:

b. abc + xyz = xyz + abc

This option shows that the order of the addends (abc and xyz) can be switched without changing the result.
