The property of addition that states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum is called the commutative property of addition. In this case, the commutative property of addition allows us to rearrange the addends 2 and 3 as 3 and 2 without changing the sum. Therefore, 2 + 3 is equal to 3 + 2, both of which equal 5.
