Answer:

The commutative property states that in addition or multiplication it doesn't matter what order you add/multiply the numbers in. For example, 3 + 2 is the same as 2 + 3  and 3 × 2 = 2 × 3.

The distributive property tells us how to solve multiplication problems with quantities in parentheses. For example, 2(3 + 5) = 2(3) + 2(5).

One difference between the two is that the commutative property deals with addition and multiplication whereas the distributive property only applies to multiplication.

Answer:

The distributive property of multiplication can be used when you multiply a number by a sum. For example, suppose you want to multiply 3 by the sum of 10 + 2. ... Since multiplication is commutative, you can use the distributive property regardless of the order of the factors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property applies here. You can't combine the a or the b with anything else until you get them outside the parentheses. ... This is an example of the commutative property. You can change ("commute") the order in which you add things together.
