The associative property describes equations in which the grouping of the numbers involved does not affect the result.

The associative property is described using the formula:

$\begin{gathered} (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) \\ or \\ a*(b* c)=(a* b)* c \end{gathered}$

The first of the two equations is the Associative Property of Addition while the other is the Associative Property of Multiplication.

Therefore, the property illustrated in the question is the ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.
