as an equivalent expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Associative Property of Addition states that when adding three or more numbers, the way in which the numbers are grouped does not change the sum.

In the expression \((7 + 8) + 6\), we can regroup the numbers without changing the sum. We can rewrite it as:

\[ 7 + (8 + 6) \]

This is an equivalent expression using the Associative Property of Addition.
