Problem

What is the commutative property of addition of x and y if x is equal to 25 and y is equal to 37?

2

Step

Given that

x = 25

y = 37

3

Step

Substitute the given values into the expression x + y and evaluate

x+ y = 25 + 37

4

Step

Perform the addition operation

x+ y = 62

5

Step

Substitute the given values into the expression y + x and evaluate

y + x = 37 + 25

6

Step

Perform the addition operation

y + x = 62

7

Solution

Since both expressions yield the same result of 62, we confirm that the commutative property of addition holds true for x = 25 and y = 37.

Choice-A

This step is incorrect because by applying the commutative property of addition we got the result as 62, not 26

Wrong 26

10

Choice-B

Adding 25 and 37 equals 62, the same as 37 plus 25, making B the correct choice

Correct 62

11

Choice-C

The commutative property ensures adding numbers in any order yields the same sum; thus, the result should remain positive, not negative

Wrong -26

12

Choice-D

Incorrect due to failure to reflect addition’s commutative property; changing sign alters value, violating property

Wrong -62
