The order in which two or more terms are added does not affect the value of the sum. In other words, the addends can be written in any order.
a+b=b+a
For example, adding 3 to 6 produces the same result as adding 6 to 3. In both cases, the sum is 9. This property also applies to the sum of more than two terms.
4+5+1✓10=1+5+4⇓=10✓
Since the Commutative Property of Addition is an axiom, it does not need a proof.
