Answer 1

Hi ,

****************************************

Associative Property :

A + ( B + C ) = ( A + B ) + C

******************************************

Here ,

A = 3 , B = -5 , C = 6

LHS = 3 + [ -5 + 6 ]

= 3 + 1

= 4

RHS = [ 3 + ( -5 )] + 6

= ( 3 - 5 ) + 6

= -2 + 6

= 4

Therefore ,

LHS = RHS

I hope this helps you.
