Question

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation. 5+(sqrt 15+6)=(5+sqrt15)+6

I think it's Associative Property of Addition

Answer 1

You are correct it is associative property of addition

Answer 2

Answer: Associative Property of Addition

Explanation:

Associative Property of Addition says that we can add by avoiding how the expressions are grouped by using parenthesis .

Let a, b, c be two expressions, then , we have

`a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c`, for any a, b and c.

The given equation :
`5+(\sqrt 15+6)=(5+\sqrt15)+6`

By considering the definition of Associative Property of Addition , we can say that the property use to illustrate the given equation is Associative Property of Addition .
