Commutative Property Practice Problems & Worksheets

According to the order of operations, addition and subtraction are on the same level and, therefore, must be resolved from left to right.

However, in the exercise we can use the substitution property to make solving simpler.

-5+4+1-3

4+1-5-3

5-5-3

0-3

-3

According to the order of operations, we first solve the division exercise:

$4:2=2$

Now we obtain the exercise:

$2+2=4$

According to the order of operations, we first solve the multiplication exercise:

We add the 4 in the numerator of the fraction:

$\frac{1\times4}{4}+2=$

We solve the exercise in the numerator of the fraction and obtain:

$\frac{4}{4}+2=1+2=3$

According to the order of operations, we solve the exercise from left to right:

$-2-4=-6$

$-6+6=0$

$0-1=-1$

According to the order of operations, we start with the multiplication exercise and then with the addition.

$12\times13=156$

Now we get the exercise:

$156+14=170$
