To use the Associative Property to group like terms in the expression \( 9x + (2x + 3) \), we can rearrange the terms by changing the grouping. The Associative Property allows us to regroup terms without changing their order.
We can rewrite the expression as:
\[
(9x + 2x) + 3
\]
Here, we grouped \( 9x \) and \( 2x \) together because they are like terms. Thus, the expression is now written with the like terms grouped together.
