No, one uses "the" and the other uses "each".
THE implies that you only need to complete only one staement
EACH implies you need to complete more than one.

The first statement refers to the singular
perhaps the test writer should have written-
"Use an associative property to complete the statement(s)."

DO they seem the same to you?
one refers to a specific one statement and the other refers to a number of different statments that you want to use the associative property for.

If this is part of the instructions and each are followed by a group of more than two or more problems, then they mean the same thing in context.
They SHOULD be used differently though - the first one should be used when there is one and only one statment for which this instruction applies to. The second should be used when there is a group of 2 or more.

the first uses THE talking about a single statement. The second uses EACH referring to several statements.

They are subtley different. The first refers to a specific statement, then second refers to a group of statements... they are otherwise equivalent

The second sentence probably refers to more than one statment while the first refers to one statment. Other than that, the same.

no...
The first one is asking you to complete a singular statement and the second one wants you to complete several statements.

No.
One has the word 'the' after complete, the other has the word 'each' after complete.

The first one can be wrong if there are more than one statements.
The second one doesnt suffer from this constraint.
