__**Commutative Property for Addition**__
by: Ryan

The commutative property tells us that the result of operation on two numbers is independent of their order.

a + b = b + a
 * For example:**

3 + 6a + -4 + - 5a = 3 + -4 + 6a + -5a (Used the Commutative Property to switch the -4 and the 6a) = -1 + 1a ( Combined alike terms)
 * Another example:**

__Commutative Property for Multiplication__
by: Camille Ma.

The Commutative property for multiplication is a lot like addition; The order we multiply numbers doesn't matter because the answer will be the same. For multiplication, the rule is " ab=ba " to make it simple in numbers that means 2*3=3*2.


 * Examples:** (Remember a•b=b•a)

1. 2•3=6 is the same as 3•2= 6 2. 5•3=15 is the same as 3•5=15
