Question

Which of the following statements uses the commutative property of addition?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

2 + (3 + 4) = 2 + (4 + 3)

Explanation:

The commutative property of addition tells us that the two addends, or numbers being added, can be "flipped around" the addition symbol.  The only problem in which this occurs is 2 + (3 + 4) = 2 + (4 + 3) .

Answer 2

commutative property of addition (changing order of numbers)

Answer:
2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4
