Question

Michael: (a)(b)(c)

Answer 1

Answer:

Ladonna: a + c + b

Step-by-step explanation:

-The commutative property in addition states that the order of arrangement of the integers to be added has no effect on their sum such that:

$x+y=y+x$

-Since the alphabet follows the order a,b, c....

Only Ladonna rearranged to change this order to show the commutative property.

-Hence, Ladonna wrote the expression correctly.

*The commutative property should not be confused with the associative property.

-The latter allows you to change the order and terms within the closed parentheses while retaining the answer.
