Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 5.

Step 1 7x + 3 + 11x + 8 = (7x + 3) + (11x + 8)
Step 2 = 7x + (3 + 11x) + 8
Step 3 = 7x + (11x + 3) + 8
Step 4 = (7x + 11x) + (3 + 8)
Step 5 = (7 + 11)x + (3 + 8)
Step 6 = 18x + 11

Question

Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 5.

Step 1	7x + 3 + 11x + 8	=	(7x + 3) + (11x + 8)
Step 2		=	7x + (3 + 11x) + 8
Step 3		=	7x + (11x + 3) + 8
Step 4		=	(7x + 11x) + (3 + 8)
Step 5		=	(7 + 11)x + (3 + 8)
Step 6		=	18x + 11
