In the equation, variables cap x and cap y represent two matrices. Which property of matrix addition is illustrated? cap x plus cap y is equal to cap y plus cap x

The equation switches the order of the matrices: X + Y = Y + X. Changing the order of the addends without changing the sum illustrates the commutative property of matrix addition. The associative property instead changes the grouping of three matrices.
