The associative property applies to addition and multiplication (you can regroup sums or products). So the expressions you can rewrite using it are:

- (9⋅5)+8+3 — associative property of addition: ((9⋅5)+8)+3 = (9⋅5)+(8+3)
- (9⋅5)⋅(8⋅3) — associative property of multiplication: ((9⋅5)⋅(8⋅3)) can be regrouped as 9⋅(5⋅8)⋅3, etc.

The other two mix addition and multiplication, so the associative property does not apply.
