There is a property called "Commutative property of addition". This property states that if you have an addition and you change the order of the addends (The numbers you are adding), you will get the same sum.

Let be "a", "b" and "c" the addends and "d" the sum. Then:


\begin{gathered} a+b+c=d \\ b+c+a=d \end{gathered}

For example, applying this property, you know that:


\begin{gathered} 1+6+3=10 \\ 3+6+1=10 \end{gathered}

As you can observe, that answer is always the same.

Therefore, you can conclude that the property is: Commutative property of addition.
