@Directrix Commutative Property?

Answer 3

Too bad we can't post the pictures directly

Answer 4

Yes, correct @Ashja

Answer 5

Commutative Property of Addition to be most specific

Answer 6

@Ashja Yes. A lot of people see the parenthesis and think "Distributive Property" but looking closely, 5 + (m + p) = 5 + (p + m), only the p and m exchanged places, and they are still grouped together.
