The commutative property of addition means the order of the addends doesn't matter; we get the same sum. In symbols

<span>11 + 7 = 7 + 11, choice B, is a good illustration of commutativity.
The next part asks us to use the commutative property. Looking at the choices, we see it's not the commutative property of addition we're to use, it's the commutative property of multiplication. Let's write that generally first:
</span>

Applying that, <span>(4 + 7) * 3 = 3*(4+7), again choice B.

Answer:
40+20=72-12
60=60
Step-by-step explanation:
4*10+4*5=6*12-6*2
40+20=72-12
60+60
6*45=270 is the first step you should do to get the answer you are looking for. The next thing I would do is go to all the answers to see which one comes out the same way. The first one comes to be 246, the next one is 54, the next is 270 and the last one is 220. 6*40+6*5 is the correct answer.
The one on the left is b and the one on the right is -1.
