Answer:

(c) (p/6 +7) +8

Explanation:

You want an expression equivalent to p/6 +(7 +8).

Associative property

The associative property of addition lets you move the parentheses in a sum. This means ...


(p)/(6)+(7+8)\equiv\boxed{\left((p)/(6)+7\right)+8}

__

Additional comment

The sum (7+8) is not 1, so the first answer option doesn't apply.

8 is not a factor in the expression, so the second answer option doesn't apply.

p/6 is not the same as 6p, so the last answer option doesn't apply.
