The order of the 3 numbers won't affect the product. Example: a+b+c=b+a+c
* * * * *
WRONG!
The associative property states that the order in which the operation (of addition) is carried out does not matter.
So, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and so either can be written as a + b + c without ambiguity.
To change the order of the summands required commutativity.
For example:
Multiplication is also associative and, in the case of matrices,
(A * B) * C = A * (B * C) = A * B * C
But B * A need not even exist!
Associative property states that the change in grouping of three or more addends or factors does not change their sum or product.

What does the word identity in addition mean?
Identity of addition means the answer and then add
What does the word AND mean in mathamatical terms?
"plus" It usually indicates addition.
What does the word Additive Identify Property of 0?
Identity properties do not change a number. What can you add to a number that doesn't change it? 0 So the addition property for zero is additive identity.
Which expression shows the results of applying the Comunitive Property of addition to the expression 6 1 9 7 2?
This question cannot be answered. There is no such word as "Comunitive" and so "the Comunitive Property of addition" does not exist. One possible alternative is the "commutative" property, but that is only of marginal relevance in terms of the given expression. Thus, it is not at all clear what property the question is about and why any such property should be invoked.
What is the meaning of the word associative?
Associative means that two things are related in a way that they are similar even though they appear different. This includes things such as Math as well as real world properties.
