This document discusses which of four mathematical equations is always true. It examines each equation using an example where a=3 and b=5. Only equation 4, a+b=b+a, is true for all integers when a=3 and b=5. Equation 4 is the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of adding numbers does not change their sum. Therefore, equation 4 is always true, while equations 1, 2, and 3 are not always true.
