Step-by-step explanation:
FIRST, we want to understand every property:
Associative Property: The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped so (5 + 4) + 3 = 5 + (4 + 3)
Commutative Property: Commutative is the one that refers to moving stuff around so 3 + 2 = 2 + 3
Additive Inverse Property: This is the number that when added to the original number, equals 0 or it's the opposite of the number so 5 <- is the original number and -5 <- is the additive inverse.
Simplify: Is just to add like terms, and make the equation the simplest.
