Question

Name the property of the real numbers.
5 + (√15 + 6) = (5 + √15) + 6

Answer 1

The property being demonstrated in this equation is the Associative Property of Addition. This property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, their sum will be the same regardless of which pair is grouped together first. In this case, we can group 5 and 6 together first or group √15 and 6 together first, and the sum will still be the same.
