Oh, dude, the associative property of addition with integers just means you can group the numbers however you want and still get the same result. It's like rearranging a dinner table but still ending up with the same meal. So, if you're adding integers like 2 + (3 + 4), it's totally cool to switch it up and do (2 + 3) + 4 instead. Math is flexible like that, man.

FranThe associative property states, no matter how you order three or more integers being added, they will always equal the same solution.
For example, A + (B + C) = (A +B) + C

The equation is correct but the description is not.
When you say "no matter how you order three or more integers" you are implying that A + B + C = A + C + B and that need not be true.
Associativity refers to the order in which the summation is carried out. That does not matter.

What is the sum of 301 plus 173 plus 427 using mental math and the associative property of addition.?
301 + 173 + 427 = 301 + (173 + 427) = 301 + 600 = 901
Which of the expressions below cannot be rewritten using the associative property?
12/(17/2)
What is the commutative property of addition using decimals?
The commutative property for any two numbers, X and Y, is X # Y = Y # X where # can stand for addition or multiplication. Whether the numbers are written as integers, rational fractions, irrationals or decimal numbers is totally irrelevant.
Multiply by using distributive property n 4n 9?
You need the associative and commutative properties, but not the distributive property. n*4n*9 =n*(4n*9) (associative) = n*(9*4n) (commutative) = n*(36n) (associative) = 36n*n commutative = 36*n^2
Is adding zero to any number is an example of using the inverse property for addition?
no
