Algebra, chapter I, § 1. Laws of composition; associativity; commutativity

A law of composition on a set E is called commutative if any two elements of E commute under this law. A magma whose law of composition is commutative is called a commutative magma.

A commutative law is equal to its opposite.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
