Please help me find an example of the commutative law of addition in numbers.
A PROPERTY * SAY IS SAID TO BE COMMUTATIVE IF A*B=B*A...IN CASE OF ADDITION WE SHOULD HAVE
A+B=B+A...TAKING A= 4 SAY AND B=6 SAY WE FIND
4+6=10.....6+4=10
HENCE 4+6=6+4
SO WE SAY ADDITION IS COMMUTATIVE....SEE THAT SUBTRACTION IS NOT COMMUTATIVE SINCE 6-4 IS NOT SAME AS 4-6
