Question

1. what property is demonstrated in the equation below? 2 + (8 + 3) = (2 + 8) + 3 zero product commutative distributive associative

Explanation:

The associative property of addition states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a+(b + c)=(a + b)+c. In the given equation 2+(8 + 3)=(2 + 8)+3, the grouping of the numbers being added is changed while the sum remains the same, which is characteristic of the associative property. The zero - product property is related to multiplication resulting in zero, the commutative property is about changing the order of numbers in an operation (not the grouping), and the distributive property involves multiplication over addition (a(b + c)=ab+ac).

Answer:

D. associative
