which property best justifies (k+3k) +6 associative(addition), commutative(addition) symmetric, reflexive

can you explain the others to me in lay men term so I can understand. I understand wxactly what you were saying in associaitive\
What others?
commutative, symmetric, and reflexive
The commutative property deals with order. Whenever the order is changed, you know the commutative property has been used.
The reflexive property simply says that a number is equal to itself. Like 3=3
The symmetric property says that is 3+1=4 then 4=3+1 In other words if two quantities are equal, it doesn't matter which side of the equal sign they are on.
