there is a commutative property in maths .it mean if you change the order of a particular question the answer will always be same.such as
a+b=b+a
suppose 2+3=3+2
5 = 5 or
2*3=3*2
6 = 66
it is only valid in addition or multiplication.it is not valid in substraction or division

Commutative in algebra or mathematics means the solution will be the same no matter the order of the added or multiplied numbers. In the commutative property of addition it makes no difference in which order two numbers are added; in the commutative property of multiplication it makes no difference in which order two numbers are multiplied. I always think of it as commuting: it can go both ways and still be the same.

commutative property of addition- you can switch the numbers and youget the same answer: a+b= b+a
I always think of cars commuting- they can change lanes and stay the same.
Corny- but it helped me.
