Nope.

Keep the order of the numbers the same.

Answer 10

3 + 5 + 8

Answer 11

8 + 3 + 5

Answer 12

The property for changing the order of the numbers is called "commutative property"

a + b = b + a

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

We want ( a + b ) + c = a + ( b + c )

See how the a, b, and c stayed in order on both sides of the equation?
