👉 Commutative law is a fundamental mathematical principle in algebra, which states that for any two elements \(a\) and \(b\) in a commutative ring (also known as a field), it holds true that \(a + b = b + a\). This means that the addition of like terms results in the same sum. In other words, when you add or subtract two numbers from left to right without changing their values, they must be equal. This property is crucial for algebraic
