Final answer:

The commutative property of addition allows you to change the order of addition without changing the result.


Step-by-step explanation:

The property that allows you to write the expression (3 + 7) + (8-61) as (8 −61) + (3 + 7) is the commutative property of addition.

This property states that changing the order of the terms being added does not change the result. In other words, it doesn't matter which term you add first; the sum will be the same.

For example, (3 + 7) + (8-61) is equal to (8 −61) + (3 + 7) because when you compute each expression, you get the same result which is 5.
