Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. So, this given expression does not show associative property for addition.

5(3 2) = 15 10

Rather this is distributive property that states:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
