This equation is displaying the commutative property of addition which states that adding 2 numbers works in any order. So this is true

a%2Bb=b%2Ba


For instance, if we have 2%2B3, we get the sum of 5. If we have 3%2B2 (which is the first expression in reverse) we also get 5. So the two numbers can be added in any order.
