The sum of 86, 68, and 38 is 192. What do you also know about the sum of 68, 38, and 86? Explain

The sum of the numbers is the same, as they are the same numbers, just in a different order.

So the sum is 192.

It's the same because it's used the commutative property where:

a+b = b+a

So, 86+68+38=192 it's the same sum as 68+38+86=192
