Solution

Explanation:
Associative property: For any three integers, it does not matter which two are added first and then their sum is added to the third integer. or we can say addition of integers are associative. $(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)$
Therefore $[23 + (- 5) + (- 7)] = 23 + [(- 5) + (- 7)]$
