I am sorry for the confusion. My previous response was incorrect.
The equation 4 + 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 + 4 demonstrates the associative property of addition. This property states that the grouping of numbers being added does not affect the sum. In this case, the numbers are being added in a different grouping, but the sum remains the same.
