The associative property of addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression \((7 + 8) + 6\) by changing the grouping.

Using the associative property, we can group \(8\) and \(6\) together instead:

\[
7 + (8 + 6)
\]

Now, both expressions \((7 + 8) + 6\) and \(7 + (8 + 6)\) are equivalent.
