The Associative Property of Addition states that when you add three or more numbers, the way in which the numbers are grouped does not change the sum.
For the expression \((b+c)+a+d\), you can rearrange the grouping of the numbers. Here are a few equivalent expressions:
1. \(b+(c+a)+d\)
2. \(b+c+(a+d)\)
3. \(a+(b+c)+d\)
4. \(d+(b+c)+a\)
Any of these expressions is equivalent to the original expression \((b+c)+a+d\) due to the Associative Property of Addition.
