You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This would be the associative property of addition because it states \"for all real numbers a,b and c their sum would be the same regardless of their grouping.\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In your equation $\"%288.9%2B2.4%29%2B7.6=8.9%2B%282.4%2B7.6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2811.3%29%2B7.6=8.9%2B%2810%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.9=18.9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Associative property of addition \n" ); document.write( "
