Answer:


(3 + 9) + 10 = 3 + (9 + 10)


12 + 10 = 3 + 19

Explanation:

Given


(3 + 9) + 10 = 22

Required

Create equivalent expressions using associative property of addition

This property states that:


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

So, the expression can be rewritten as:


(3 + 9) + 10 = 3 + (9 + 10)

Solve the expression in bracket


12 + 10 = 3 + 19


22 = 22
