That is non-commutativity. Matrix multiplication is non-commutative although addition still is.

What property shows that numbers can be regrouped when being added or multiplied without changing their value?

The commutative property of addition and the commutative property of multiplication.


Why can you break apart numbers to multiply without changing the product?

Because of the distributive property of multiplication over addition.


The property that shows that numbers can be regrouped when being added or multiplied without changing their value?

The associative property. It works separately for addition and for multiplication.


What property allows the grouping of numbers in parentheses to change without changing the answer?

That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.


The property that states that two or more numbers can be added in any order without changing the sum?

Addition and multiplication are commutative. That's the property you're looking for.


Can the commutative property have three numbers involved?

Addition and multiplication: yes


When you change the order of numbers what is it called?

That is the commutative property of either multiplication or addition.


What is the distributive property in addition?

The distributive property OF MULTIPLICATION over addition is a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c for any numbers a, b and c.


What is a distributive property of multiplication?

The distributive property of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.


Can you do distributive property on the number 20?

What is the distributive property for 79.45?

The distributive property is applicably to the operation of multiplication over either addition or subtraction of numbers. It does not apply to single numbers.


What signs go with only the associative property?

The answer cannot be addition of numbers because that sign can also go with the commutative property, not "only the associative property" as required by the question. For the same reason, the answer cannot be multiplication of numbers. Also, in both cases, multiplication is distributive over addition.
