Which equation shows how the properties of numbers extend to negative whole numbers by the Commutative Property of Addition?

A) - 2 + 4 = 4 + (-2)

B) - 2 (4) = 4 (-2)

C) (-2 + 4) + 3 = - 2 + (4 + 3)

D) - 2 (4 + 3) = (-2 x 4) + (-2 x 3)

Example for the Commutative Property of Addition:

5 + 4 = 4 + 5

B) - 2 * (4) = 4 * ( - 2) / The Commutative Property of Multiplication

C) ( - 2 + 4) + 3 = - 2 + (4 + 3) / The Associative Property of Addition

D) - 2 * (4 + 3) = ( - 2 x 4) + ( - 2 x 3) / The Distributive Property

Therefore the answer is:

A) - 2 + 4 = 4 + ( - 2)
