Example:
If I am adding I can do it in any order I want.
Property:
Example:
If I am multiplying the sum of two numbers by a given number I can either add first, and
then multiply or multiply each of them by the given number, and then add.
Property:
Example:
If I am adding I can group numbers in a sum in any way I want
Property:
Example:
