Question

which property is shown?
n+(p+q)=(n+p)+q
Associative
Commutative
Distributive
Closure property

Answer 1

The property shown by the equation \( n + (p + q) = (n + p) + q \) is the **Associative Property**. This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped during addition (or multiplication) does not affect the sum (or product). In this case, it illustrates that adding \( n \) to the sum of \( p \) and \( q \) is the same as adding the sum of \( n \) and \( p \) to \( q \).
