Use the Associative Property to group like terms together for the expression 9x+(2x+3)%0D%0A9%0D%0A𝑥%0D%0A+%0D%0A(%0D%0A2%0D%0A𝑥%0D%0A+%0D%0A3%0D%0A)%0D%0A . Do not simplify the grouped terms.(1 point

Answer 1

To use the Associative Property and group like terms together for the expression \( 9x + (2x + 3) \), we can rearrange the expression without changing its value.

Using the Associative Property, we can group the \( x \) terms together and the constant term separately.

Here’s how we can do it:

\[
(9x + 2x) + 3
\]

So, the expression grouped using the Associative Property is:

\[
(9x + 2x) + 3
\]

This groups the like terms \( 9x \) and \( 2x \) together.
