The first thing we are going to do to solve the problem is to define what associative property is: Associative property Property that is fulfilled if, given any three elements of a given set, it is verified that there is an operation that verifies equality An expression that meets the definition is: (x + 3) + 7 = x + (3 + 7) We observe that both members of equality are identical, but written in different ways. Answer: B) (x + 3) + 7 = x + (3 + 7)
