What does this have to do with physics? And yes, if A = B, then B must = A.

Yes. Thats Like Sayin 1 Does Not Equal 1 But It Does Equal 1.

If you are speaking logic, yes, equality is commutative.
Otherwise, it depends on the domain and definition of the equality operator.
In C programming this is the assignment operator, not the equality operator, so the results would differ.
Give a context for a more definitive answer.

Yes, if A = B then B = A.
In the case of matrices, it's matrix multiplication that's not 'commutative', that is, it is not generally true that A x B = B x A. But that's a slightly different question from the one asked here.

The "equals" sign in the middle suggests that the two sides are the same size/magnitude/value.

That's what the = sign means! Equal.

yes - try the arithmetic section if you don't like the replies you get in physics

ussualy yes...
but not in case of matrices ...
or something like this ....
so not always !
it depends...
in normal numbers of course yes...
but not in all mathematics ...
