Property shown in given expression.

Answer to Problem 11PT

Commutative property

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $x+y=y+x$

We know that if two or more number are multiplied or added, the order in which operation is performed does not affect the product or sum, i.e.-

  $\begin{array}{l}a·b=b·aor\\ a+b=b+a\end{array}$

This is known as commutative property.

Basis this we can say that $x+y=y+x$ is representing commutative property.
