In Mathematics, we say that addition and multiplication are commutative. This is because given any two numbers, say \(a\) and \(b\), belonging to the set of Real numbers \((\mathbb{R})\), the relations below hold true.

Addition

\(a + b = b + a\)

Multiplication

\(a \times b = b \times a\)

We will use the commutative properties of addition and multiplication to solve questions in the next section
