Question

Which of the following shows 3 + (x + 6y) rewritten using the Associative Property of Addition? 3 + x + 6y 3x + (6 + y) x + (3 + 6y) (3 + x) + 6y

Answer 1

The answer is x + (3+6y). This is because the associative property of addition is when the parenthesis change its place, however, the value still stays the same. This choice shows that.

Answer 2

x + (3 + 6y)

Explanation:

This shows that you can regroup the numbers however you want with addition and multiplication, so this is the right answer.

Hope this helps!
