Question

which of the following shows the commutative property of addition of whole numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

'a' is the following which shows the commutative property for addition.

Formula of commutative property- (a+b)=(b+a)

a.) -3+4=4-3

+1= +1

l.h.s=r.h.s

Answer 2

Concept:

Let's recall the concept of commutativity.

Let a and b be two numbers, the binary operation * (say) is said to be commutative when a*b=b*a

Given:

We are given the commutative property of addition of whole numbers

To find:

We are asked to show the given above

Solution:

To prove the given, let's take two arbitrary whole numbers say x and y.

With respect to addition,

a+b will give the same whole number as b+a

Taking an example: let 2, 3 be two whole numbers

2+3=5

And 3+2=5

Therefore, we can see 2+3=3+2

Thus, a+b=b+a is satisfied for whole numbers
