Solution

This property is known as $A s s o c i a t i v e p r o p e r t y o f a d d i t i o n$
By putting the values of a, b and c we will get,
$(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) o r, (3 + 2) + 5 = 3 + (2 + 5) o r, 5 + 5 = 3 + 7 o r, 10 = 10$
L.H.S=R.H.S
Hence the property is Associative property of addition.
