For matrices of the same shape, $A+B=B+A$ and $(A+B)+C=A+(B+C)$. Proof: each entry satisfies the corresponding commutative or associative law in the scalar field. The zero matrix is the additive identity and $-A$ is the additive inverse. These laws concern addition; matrix multiplication is generally not commutative.
