Commutative property

The commutative property says that the order of the numbers when adding or multiplying can be changed without changing the answer. For example, both ${\displaystyle 2+8}$ and ${\displaystyle 8+2}$ are equal to 10, and both ${\displaystyle 5*7}$ and ${\displaystyle 7*5}$ are equal to 35. This can be done with any numbers, or with more than two numbers.
