Commutative

Bit like commuting on a train. You move from one place to another

Compare the process given in the question to the following example:

$2+3 =5$

You get exactly the same answer as $3+2=5$

They have moved.

A very important one is that of multiplication.

$2xx3=6$ has exactly the same answer as $3xx2=6$ However there are traps in multiplication and division. You must be very careful.

Another very important example:

Suppose I had $10-16=-6$

$color(brown)("The minus follows the 16 and the plus follows the 10 so you would write")$ $-16+10=-6$
