Let's say a is 1, and b is 2. Is 1-2 the same as 2-1? I didn't think so. This is because subtraction is the same thing as adding a negative number, so by switching the a and b, you are also switching them between negatives and positives. However, -a-b is the same as -b-a.

Using the communative property of both addition and multiplication, 11+ab could be rewritten as ab+11, 11+ba or ba+11.
How do you solve a plus ab?
Plus ab is an algebraic expression. As given you cannot solve it. However, If you have x +ab = c Then 'ab' can be solved. We do this by subtracting 'x' from both sides. (Preserve equality) x - x + ab = c - x x-x = 0 , just like 2 - 2 = 0 Hence ab = c -x
