Answer 1

The commutative postulate for multiplication

Explanation:

Answer 2

The commutative Multiplication Postulate

Explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication states:

Let x and y be two numbers. Then, according to this property of multiplication,

`x* y = y* x`

That is x multiplied by y is equal to y multiplied by x.

Now, we were given:

`12* 6 = 6* 12`

This clearly means that 12 multiplied 6 is equal to 6 multiplied 12 times.

Hence, the real numbers out of all the given postulates and properties, they illustrates the commutative property of multiplication.
