Question

Name the property the equation illustrates.

9 + (8 + 1) = (9 + 8) + 1

Inverse Property of Addition
Commutative Property of Addition
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Associative Property of Addition

Answer 1

Associative property of addition

Answer 2

The correct option is 4. The given equation illustrates the Associative Property of Addition.

Explanation:

Te given equation is

`9+(8+1)=(9+8)+1`

According to the Associative Property of Addition then order of addition does not affect the resultant, if a,b,c are three numbers then a+(b+c) and (a+b)+c are equivalent expression.

`a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c`

The given equation illustrates the Associative Property of Addition.

Therefore the correct option is 4.
