Question

Equivalent addition sentence that illustrates the associative property of addition (5+4)+13=22

Answer 1

`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}`
