Answer: Associative Property of Addition

This property says that we can group terms in any order we want, and the results of the addition would be the same.

For example, 2+(3+4) = 2+(7) = 2+7 = 9 and (2+3)+4 = (5)+4 = 5+4 = 9. Therefore, 2+(3+4) = (2+3)+4 is a true equation since both sides evaluate to 9.

This property works not only for rational numbers, but for any real numbers.
