The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. In the expression \((7 + 8) + 6\), we can use the commutative property to rearrange the numbers in any order.
One way to rewrite the expression is as:
\[ 6 + (7 + 8) \]
Alternatively, we can rearrange the terms in the entire expression:
\[ 8 + 7 + 6 \]
Either of these rearrangements maintains the same value as the original expression.
