This is the Associative law of addition.
(a+b) + c = a + (b +c).

The _associative_ property of addition. Commutative property would be 13+8 = 8+13 or something of that nature.

The numbers are in the same order but grouped differently. That's associative property.

Since, in moving the parentheses, you are changing the order of the addition you are invoking the associative property of addition.

The distributive sources. the main worry-unfastened distributive sources is the distribution of multiplication over addition. It says that as quickly as a selection is accelerated by utilising the sum of two different numbers, the 1st selection may well be surpassed out or disbursed to the two one among those 2 numbers and accelerated by utilising each of them one after the different. right here is the distributive sources in symbols: a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c.

It's the associative property of addition. That's the grouping property...it doesn't matter who its friends (associates) are.
The commutative property is the "order doesn't matter" property.

associative property of addition
because you associate two different numbers together but they will still equal the same thing
