Use the Associative Property of Addition to rewrite the expression (7+8)+6

Question

as an equivalent expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped in an addition problem does not change their sum. This means that you can regroup the numbers in any order.

In the expression \((7 + 8) + 6\), we can apply the Associative Property by regrouping the numbers.

For example, we can group \(7\) and \(6\) together instead:

\[ 7 + (8 + 6) \]

So, the equivalent expression using the Associative Property of Addition is:

\[ 7 + (8 + 6) \]
