1 answer
The equation that exemplifies the Associative Property of Addition is:
7 + (3 + 1) = (7 + 3) + 1
This property states that the way numbers are grouped in an addition problem does not affect the sum. In this case, regardless of how you group the numbers (either (3 + 1) first or (7 + 3) first), the result will still be the same.
