Let's try to visualize it: \[5+(\sqrt{15}+6)=(5+\sqrt{15})+6\] Also: these are the properties (in the right order): a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c a+b=b+a a(b+c)=ab+ac a(bc)=(ab)c Can you see it now? Also: you need to learn these properties to be able to answer future questions...

I've never been showed like this! Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (zehanz):

They only try to make it difficult, by using sentences... Formulas are much clearer here!

What would closure property look like?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Closure property (addition): if a and b are real numbers, then a+b is also real. Closure property (multiplication): if a and b are real numbers, then ab is also real.
