Use the Associative Property of Addition to rewrite the expression (7+8)+6
as an equivalent expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way numbers are grouped in an addition problem does not change their sum. Using this property, you can rewrite the expression \((7+8)+6\) by changing the grouping of the numbers.

You can group it as \(7+(8+6)\).

So, the equivalent expression is:

7 + (8 + 6).
