Asked by javierm713

Answer (3)

Associative property of addition
Which property is illustrated by the equation (a+b)+c=c+(a+b) is the associative property of addition. The associative property of addition groups addends together which still yields the same sum regardless of the clustering or grouping set.
For example:
1. 1 + (2 + 3) = 6 = (1 + 2) + 3
2. 1 + (2 + 7) = 10 = (1 + 2) + 7
3. 550 + (20 + 5) = 575 = (550 + 5) + 20

Association Property

Answered by Pinktheeth | 2024-06-12

The equation ( a + b ) + c = c + ( a + b ) represents the associative property of addition, indicating that the grouping of numbers does not change their sum. This means that whether you group a , b , and c in one way or another, the result remains the same. For example, both 1 + ( 2 + 3 ) and ( 1 + 2 ) + 3 yield 6 .
