@ganeshie8 @dan815 @phi @whpalmer4
I think it is A.
Okay does everyone agree?
It is a strange way to show 3*4 = 4*3
C, I think because it stays 12, but who am I. ^-^
PERMUTATION
So what is it then?
look up the meaning of each of them
Okay does everyone agree C? @phi
Okay thank you everyone!
no
No?
commutative property
Why is that?
3 * 4 = 12 4 * 3 = 12 3*4 = 4*3

identity has to do with multiplying by 1 zero has to do with multiplyhing by zero look at the forms of communative and associative , it is one of them ,
