Wait, is this for addition or multiplication?

Addition and Sub
Mehek (mehek14):

What do you think the best answer is seeing that rule?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not really understanding it yet.
Mehek (mehek14):
look for the answer choices where the numbers are in different order
ex:
\(\bf{3+5=5+3}\)
OpenStudy (airyana1114):
Basically whatever is on the left of the equal sign will be the same as on the right side just flipped.

Is it D?

Good Job :)

the numbers were flipped but when you add, you get the same answer
