thank you

You're welcome.

The commutative property states that the order of the numbers in addition or multiplication does not affect the result. In other words, you can swap the positions of the numbers and still get the same answer.

So, if we have the expression 8 + 12 and want to rewrite it using the commutative property, we can simply swap the positions of the numbers:

12 + 8

Now we can evaluate the expression as 12 + 8, which equals 20.

Therefore, 8 + 12, using the commutative property, can be rewritten as 12 + 8, and both expressions evaluate to 20.
