Question

Verify the associative property for the integers 5, -22 and 21.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The numbers are 5, -22 and 21

To find :-

Verify the associative property for the integers 5, -22 and 21.?

Solution :-

Given numbers are 5, -22 and 21

We know that

If a , b, ,c are three integers then (a+b)+c = a+(b+c) is called Associative Property under addition in integers.

Now

We have,

a = 5

b = -22

c = 21

I) (a+b)+c = (5+-22)+21

=> (5-22)+21

=> -17+21

=> 21-17

=> 4

and

II) a+(b+c)

=> 5+(-22+21)

=> 5+(-1)

=> 5-1

=>4

(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)

Verified the given relations in the given problem.

Used formulae:-

If a , b, ,c are three integers then (a+b)+c = a+(b+c) is called Associative Property under addition in integers.
