The Associative Property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in an operation (addition or multiplication) does not change their result. This property applies to addition and multiplication but not to subtraction or division.
To identify expressions that could be rewritten using the Associative Property, look for expressions where the grouping of numbers can be changed. Here are some examples:
1. **Addition Example:**
- \( (a + b) + c \) can be rewritten as \( a + (b + c) \).
2. **Multiplication Example:**
- \( (a \times b) \times c \) can be rewritten as \( a \times (b \times c) \).
3. **Mixed Example:**
- \( (2 + 3) + 4 \) can also be rewritten as \( 2 + (3 + 4) \).
If you have specific expressions in mind, please list them, and I can help determine which ones can be rewritten using the Associative Property!
