Which property is illustrated by the statement

3+(2+4)=3+(4+2)

A. Associative property of addition*

B. Commutative property of multiplication

C. Inverse property of multiplication

D. Commutative property of addition

Is my answer correct??

Commutative property of addition

It is commutative property of addition. The numbers in the parentheses are switched.

The commutative property: 3+(2+4)=3+(4+2)
The associative property: 3+(2+4)=(3+2)+4

I know the properties are tough...I can barely remember them. I somehow scrape by. Good luck! <3

Nope.

associative: 3+(2+4) = (3+2)+4

Yes, your answer is correct. The property that is illustrated by the statement "3+(2+4)=3+(4+2)" is the Associative property of addition.

To understand why, let's break down the properties given in the answer choices:

A. Associative property of addition: This property states that the grouping of numbers does not affect the sum. In other words, it doesn't matter how you group the numbers in an addition expression, the result will be the same. The statement in question demonstrates this property because, regardless of whether we first add 2 and 4 or 4 and 2, the result is the same.

B. Commutative property of multiplication: This property states that the order of multiplication does not affect the product. Since the statement involves addition, not multiplication, this property is not applicable here.

C. Inverse property of multiplication: This property states that multiplying a number by its reciprocal results in the identity element (1). Since the statement does not involve multiplication or an identity element, this property is not applicable here.

D. Commutative property of addition: This property states that the order of addition does not affect the sum. In the given statement, the order of addition is the same on both sides, so this property is not demonstrated.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Associative property of addition.
