Use the Associative Property of Addition to rewrite the expression (7+8)+6 as an equivalent expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not affect their sum. This means that for any numbers \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):

\[ (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) \]

In the expression \( (7 + 8) + 6 \), we can apply the Associative Property by regrouping the numbers:

\[ (7 + 8) + 6 = 7 + (8 + 6) \]

So an equivalent expression is \( 7 + (8 + 6) \).
