Solution
We know that
the commutative property of Addition states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum. i.e., if
a
and
b
are two real numbers, then
a
+
b
=
b
+
a
.
Let
a
=
−
8
13
and
b
=
23
27
.
Let us first find
a
+
b
as follows:
a
+
b
=
−
8
13
+
23
27
=

Now, we find
b

as follows:
b
+
a
=

Since equation
(
1
)
is equal to equation
(
2
)
,
∴
a
+
b
=
b
+
a
i.e.
−
8
13
+
23
27
=
23
27
+
−
8
13
Hence, the given numbers
−
8
13
and
23
27
satisfies the commutative property of addition
.
