We are asked to use the commutative property in the following expression:
[tex]-5d+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]Let's remember that the commutative property states the following:
[tex]a+b=b+a[/tex]In this case, we can swap the order of the terms and they will remain equivalent, like this:
[tex]-5d+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}-5d[/tex]And thus we have rewritten the expression using the commutative property
