Which property is shown by: (−2/3) + (3/5) = (3/5) + (−2/3)?
AAssociativity of addition
BCommutativity of addition
CDistributivity
DClosure under addition
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Commutativity of addition
a + b = b + a is the commutative property of addition; the two sides differ only in the order of the addends.
