Question

$(–23)+47$ is same as $47+(–23)$. State whether the statement is True or False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Use the commutative property of integers

We know that while adding two integers the order of addition does not alter their sums

Consider,

$(–23)+47$ $=24$

and

$47+(–23)$ $=24$

$\therefore \left(-23\right)+47=47+\left(-23\right)$

Hence, It is true that $(–23)+47$ is same as $47+(–23)$.
