According to the Associative Property of Addition, the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. This means that you can rearrange the grouping of the addends without changing the result.
The expression \((b+c) + a + d\) can be rewritten in any of the following equivalent forms:
- d + (b + c) + a
- d + a + (b + c)
- b + (c + a) + d
- (b + c) + d + a
All of these expressions are valid under the Associative Property.
Thus, any of the choices you provided that represent a valid regrouping of the original expression is correct. However, since you are looking for equivalence to \((b+c) + a + d\), choice (b + c) + d + a is also valid under regrouping, showing that all listed options are indeed correct representations of the original expression according to this property.
If choosing just one option to highlight, d + (b + c) + a or (b + c) + d + a fits neatly into illustrating the Associative Property as they still retain the original structure without altering the sum.
