The associative property allows you to regroup terms in an expression, particularly when dealing with addition and multiplication.
In Nell's original expression \((3.6x + 6) - 4\), she can use the associative property to change the grouping of the terms.
Among the options provided, the expression \(3.6x + (6 - 4)\) fits the use of the associative property because it regroup the constants \(6\) and \(-4\).
So, the correct expression that Nell could have written using the associative property is:
**3.6x + (6 - 4)**
However, since that option is not explicitly listed, we can focus on the provided options to see which one uses associative grouping. The closest option would be:
**3.6x + (6 - 4)**
But as per the given choices, the suitable answer might not be listed. Just ensure you check the options available to you again, as the math concept is sound.
