Question

Verify the associative property of addition for the following numbers:

$2,4,6$

Answer 1

Using associative property of addition.
If $a,b,c$are any whole numbers,

Then, $(a+b)+c=a+(b+c)$

Let, $a=2,b=4,c=6$

So, $(2+4)+6=2+(4+6)$

LHS$=(2+4)+6$

$=6+6$

$=12$

RHS$=$ $2+(4+6)$

$=2+10$

$=12$

Since, LHS $=$ RHS

Hence, $(2+4)+6=2+(4+6)$ is verified.
