hi @zepdrix

Answer 9

Hey :)
When you think of association, think of groups.
You associate with different groups of people, yes?
We group numbers using parenthesis.

So our associative property is about grouping numbers in different ways with parenthesis.

Answer 10

Any ideas which option looks correct? :o

Answer 11

i think it is d? but i might be wrong

Answer 12

Option D looks very close to the correct answer.
Option D is showing commutativity.

Think of commuting to work, you drive from one place to another, ya?
Commutativity tells us that numbers can trade places and the operation still holds true.

Example: 5+7 = 7+5

We're looking for something more like this:

(2 + 3) + 5 = 2 + (3 + 5)

See how I changed the grouping?

Answer 13

yes i do but am i correct? @zepdrix

Answer 14

?

Answer 15

No, you are not correct.
In option D they switched the 3 and 7, commutative property is being applied.

Look at the example I gave, one of the options looks very very similar.

Answer 16

is it c? @zepdrix

Answer 17

Yayyy good job \c:/

The 8 and 7 are grouped on the left side,
then we see the -8 and 8 grouped on the other side.

Same result, but different groupings.
So the associative property is being applied.
