Question

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below: x ⋅ y ⋅ z = y ⋅ x ⋅ z

Answer 1

The algebraic property is called here commutativity :

x ⋅ y ⋅ z = y ⋅ x ⋅ z    | ÷z   (We divide by z)


→ x ⋅ y  = y ⋅ x  → That means you can switch ( = commute)  factors anyway, the product will remain the same.
