Associative property of addition represents this equation: a + b = b + a So, how would it be helpful with this given equation? => 48 + 82 => Let's start with the ones place value. (2 + 8) = 10, bring down 0, carry 1 then ( 4 + 8) = 12 + 1 = 13 So the answer is 130. If we are going to do it vice versa, still expect that the same answer will occur.
