Question
Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 3.
Step 1 8 + (11 + 6) + 0 = 8 + (6 + 11) + 0
Step 2 = (8 + 6) + (11 + 0)
Step 3 = (8 + 6) + 11
Step 4 = 14 + 11
Step 1 8 + (11 + 6) + 0 = 8 + (6 + 11) + 0
Step 2 = (8 + 6) + (11 + 0)
Step 3 = (8 + 6) + 11
Step 4 = 14 + 11

The property illustrated in Step 3 is the **Associative Property of Addition**.
In this step, the grouping of the numbers being added changes, but the sum remains the same. Specifically, in Step 2 the expression was grouped as \((8 + 6) + (11 + 0)\), and in Step 3 it is represented as \((8 + 6) + 11\). Here, \(11 + 0\) simplifies to \(11\), but the key focus is on the movement of the parentheses indicating different groupings of the terms.
