(-8) + (-4) and (-4) + (-8)
(-2) + 5 and 5 + (-2)
12 + 0 and 0 + 12

does integers also follow commutative property of addition ? Find some other additions also.

Answer 1

Mathematical Statement	Result	Mathematical Statement	Result
(-8) + (-4)	-12	(-4) + (-8)	-12
(-2) + 5	+3	5 + (-2)	+3
12+0	12	0 + 12	12
17 + (-2)	15	(-2) + 17	15
2 + (-3)	-1	(-3) + 2	-1
(-3) + 6	3	6 + (-3)	3

From table it is clear that integers also follow the commutative property of addition.
