Capitolo 1, Problema 13

State the name of the property illustrated: 3+17 = 17+3

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Observe the equation given: \(3 + 17 = 17 + 3\).
Notice that the numbers on both sides are the same but their order is switched.
Recall that the property which allows you to change the order of addition without changing the result is called the Commutative Property of Addition.
State that this property means: for any numbers \(a\) and \(b\), \(a + b = b + a\).
Conclude that the equation \(3 + 17 = 17 + 3\) illustrates the Commutative Property of Addition.
