ANSWER:


5+(4+13)=22

Explanation:

The associative property says that the result of an operation, involving three or more numbers, is independent of the grouping of the numbers.


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

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} \mleft(5+4\mright)+13=22​ \\ \text{ we apply the associative property} \\ 5+(4+13)=22 \end{gathered}
