Using the commutative property of addition, we can rearrange the terms:
(14 + a) + 16
Now using the associative property of addition, we can group the terms differently:
14 + (a + 16)
This simplifies to:
14 + a + 16 = 30 + a
Use the commutative and associative properties as needed to simplify the expression.
