Question

The ____ property allows you to regroup terms using parentheses when adding or multiplying

Answer 1

Answer:

  "associative"

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property lets you change the grouping of terms of a sum or of a product.

___

For example, you can rewrite

  (5 + 4·3) -2

as

  5 + (4·3 -2)

but the associative property does NOT allow you to change the grouping to ...

  (5 +4)·3 -2 . . . . . not a valid rewrite
