Well, I don't really see a way to lead you through to this other than...

CPA: Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum
APA: Changing the grouping or the order in which addition is performed does not change              
        sum

DP: Multiplication distributes over addition
TP: (This is a property of equality) If a = b and b = c, then a = c
