The sum of 86, 68, and 38 is 192. What do you also know about the sum of 68, 38, and 86? Explain.

It's the same because it's used the commutative property where:
**a+b = b+a **
So, 86+68+38=192 it's the same sum as 68+38+86=192

The sum of the numbers is the same, as they are the same numbers, just in a different order.
So the sum is 192.

The sum of 68, 38, and 86 is also 192 because of the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of addition does not affect the total. Therefore, rearranging these numbers still results in the same sum. This property holds true for any set of numbers added together.
