The commutative property: When two numbers are added the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends. 3+1 = 1+3


3(x+y) = 3(y+x) (Change the order of the addends.)

If you need help understanding math so you can solve these problems yourself, then one on one online tutoring is the answer ($30/hr). If you need faster solutions with guaranteed detailed answers, then go with personal problem solving ($3.50-$5.50 per problem). Contact me at fcabanski@hotmail.com
