Answer: Associative Property

Explanation:

  • The opposite of sum property says the opposite of a sum of real numbers or addends is equal to the sum of the opposites.

i.e.
-a+(-b)=-(a+b) where a and b are any arbitrary numbers.

The given expression :
(-3.4+(-9.2))+(-5.6)=-(3.4+9.2)+(-5.6)

Here,
(-3.4+(-9.2))=-(3.4+9.2) by using the opposite of sum property.

Hence, the correct answer is "opposite of sum property"
