The associative property refers to how numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication. Specifically, it states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum or product.
In this case, it seems you're asking which equation uses the associative property. It's important to note that:
1. For addition, \( (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) \)
2. For multiplication, \( (a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c) \)
None of the equations you've mentioned (i.e., \( r RS = Sr \) or \( (s t) = RS \)) clearly represent an application of the associative property as they don't include grouping with parentheses that demonstrate the property.
If you meant to express an equality that shows the way terms are grouped, an example would be:
- For addition: \( (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) \)
- For multiplication: \( (a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c) \)
Please clarify any specific details or provide the equations if you are looking for a specific context!
