The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order in which we add numbers does not change the sum. For the expression \(4x + 8x\), you can rearrange the terms in any order.
Using the Commutative Property, the expression can be rewritten as:
\[ 8x + 4x \]
Both forms represent the same quantity, \(4x + 8x\) and \(8x + 4x\).
