It can be written as a + 3 + 6y + (3 + 6y) by using associative property of addition.

It can be written as (a + 3) + 6y by using distributive property of addition

Answer 1

Associative property of addition states that :
\[\huge{(a+b)+c=a+(b+C)}\]

hence \[\huge{a+(3+6y)=(a+3)+6y}\] Hence 1st one is right :)

Answer 2

yay! thats what i guessed thanks!

Answer 3

Distributive property only applies to multiplication.
