To use the commutative property of addition, we need to understand that this property states that the order of the numbers being added does not change the sum. This means that for any two numbers a and b: a+b=b+a.

Given the numbers (referred to as "factors" in this context) 2 and 40, we can write the addition sentences using the commutative property.

A. 2 + 0 = 2 and 40 + 0 = 40: These sentences are correct but do not involve adding 2 and 40 together, so they do not demonstrate the commutative property with the numbers 2 and 40.

B. 40 ×...
