Question

Which equation shows an example of the associative property of addition?

Options:
A) (4+1)+41=−4+(1+41)
B) (4+1)+41=41+(−41+1)
C) 4×(−41+1)=(41−41)+(41−1)
D) (−41+1)+0=(−41+1)

Answer 1

The equation that shows an example of the associative property of addition is (4+1)+41=−4+(1+41).

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that shows an example of the associative property of addition is option A) (4+1)+41=−4+(1+41).

The associative property of addition states that for any three numbers a, b, and c, the sum of (a + b) + c is equal to a + (b + c). In this equation, we can see that adding (4+1) first and then adding 41 gives the same result as adding 1 and 41 first and then adding 4 to the sum. Both sides of the equation result in -42.
