To rewrite the expression \( (26 + 92) + 17 \) using the commutative property, we can rearrange the numbers in the addition. The commutative property states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum.
First, we can rewrite \( (26 + 92) + 17 \) as \( 17 + 26 + 92 \).
Now we can simplify this expression.
-
First, add \( 17 \) and \( 26 \): \[ 17 + 26 = 43 \]
-
Next, add \( 43 \) and \( 92 \): \[ 43 + 92 = 135 \]
Thus, the expression \( (26 + 92) + 17 \), rewritten correctly using the commutative property and simplified correctly, is \( 135 \).
