Solution

The Basic Laws of Algebra are the associative, commutative and distributive laws. They help explain the relationship between number operations and lend towards simplifying equations or solving them.

Property Name:
Commutative Law For Addition

Definition:
a+b=b+a
The arrangement of addends does not affect the sum

Example:
If 2+3=5, then 3+2=5

==================================
Property Name:
Commutative Law For Multiplication

Definition:
a*b=b+a
The arrangement of addends does not affect the product.

Example:
If 2*3=6, then 3*2=6

===================================
Property Name:
Associative Law For Addition

Definition:
a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c
The grouping of addends does not affect the sum.

Example:
If 2+(3+4)=2+7=9, then (2+3)+4=5+4=9

=====================================

Property Name:
Associative Law For Multiplication

Definition:
a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c
The grouping of addends does not affect the multiplication product.

Example:
If 2*(3*4)=2*12=24, then (2*3)*4=6*4=24

=========================================

Property Name:
Distributive Law

Definition:
a*(b+c)=(a*b)+a*c
Adding numbers and then multiplying them yields the same result as multiplying numbers and then adding them

Example:
If 2*(3+4)=2*7=14, then 2*(3+4)=2*3+2*4=6+8=14
