Well we know there is no multiplication in the problem so we can rule out B and C

Yup

So this would be associative addition.

anonymous · Answer

Since this is all addition, you can basically pretend that there is no parenthesis there as it don't matter where the numbers would go. The only property that makes sense is commutative property of addition.

anonymous · Answer

I'm going to have to disagree with you lego. There is no actual adding going on, only rearranging numbers. It is not associative property.

Okay Thanks guys!

legomyego180 · Answer

Yup thats correct, sorry, commutative.

anonymous · Answer

It's all good.

legomyego180 · Answer

If you can move things around and it doesnt affect your answer its commutative, If things are grouped its associative. Sorry for the confusion.

Lol its ok
