Solve this:

AB+ BA = (AB+BA)'
   
                =(AB)'+(BA)'
                 
                =B'A'+A'B'
            
                =BA +AB                (since AandB are symmetric matrices)

                =AB+BA

Just prove that (AB + BA)' = AB + BA and hey your question would be solved in no time.
