Question

the associative property of addition says that regrouping the terms in an addition expression does not change the sum. combine the like terms in the expression. $3c + 2c + 95 = (3c + 2c) + 95 =? + 95$ options: 5, 5c, 6, 6c

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like terms

The terms \(3c\) and \(2c\) are like terms (both have the variable \(c\)).

Step2: Combine like terms

To combine \(3c + 2c\), we add the coefficients: \(3 + 2 = 5\), so \(3c + 2c = 5c\).

Answer:

\(5c\)
