__**Associative Property** for Addition__
by: Camille Mo.

Associative Property in addition is when the factors does not change the outcome when adding in a different order example: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Example Problem:

Simplify the following Expression

1. 2a+4a+5a+1

= (2a+4a) +5a+1 = 6a+5a+1 = 11a + 1 || 2a+4a+5a+1 = 2a+(4a+5a)+1 =2a+9a+1 = 11a + 1 ||
 * **Method 1** || **Method 2** ||
 * 2a+4a+5a+1

Section 9, #1

Associative Property of Multiplication states that “For all numbers a, b, and c... math math
 * (a*b) *c = a * (b* c)**

Example: Simplify the following expression by multiplying: math \frac{9}{1}*5*\frac{1}{9} math

__**Method 1**__ math \frac{9}{1}*5*\frac{1}{9}=(\frac{9}{1}*5)*\frac{1}{9}=45*\frac{1}{9}=5 math

__**Method 2**__ math \frac{9}{1}*5*\frac{1}{9}=\frac{9}{1}*(5*\frac{1}{9})=\frac{9}{1}*\frac{5}{9}=5 math
