Question

verify commutative property of addition for the following pairs of rational numbers -2/-5 and 1/3
​

Answer 1

Commutative property of addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the commutative property of addition;

(a + b) = (b + a)

Given,

a = -2/-5, b = 1/3

As per the commutative property of addition;

(-2/-5) + (1/3) = (1/3) + (-2/-5)

⇒ (-6-5)/-15 = (-5 - 6)/-15

⇒ -11/-15 = -11/-15

∵ 11/15 = 11/15

Hence proved that (a + b) = (b + a)
