Question

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

Answer 1

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way numbers are grouped in an addition problem does not change the sum. Therefore, you can rewrite the expression \((7 + 8) + 6\) by regrouping the numbers.

Using the Associative Property, we can group differently, like this:

\(7 + (8 + 6)\)

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