Answer:

3. (4+5)+5 = 4 +10 expresses the ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property of addition is given as:

For any three numbers A, B and C

(A +B) + C = A + ( B+ C)

Here, the ORDER OF ADDITION is not important, answer is always the SAME.

Now, in the following given expressions:

1. (3+7)+(2+8)=(7+3)+(8+2)

Here, ( 3+ 7)in L H S is replaced with ( 7 + 3) in R H S

Similarly, ( 2+ 8)in L H S is replaced with (8 + 2) in R H S

Hence, the given expression is expresses the Commutative PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

2. (5)(3-4)=(5-3)(4)

Here, the operation between 5 and (3-4) is MULTIPLICATION

Hence, the given expression DO NOT expresses the ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

3. (4+5)+5 = 4 +10

Here, the form of ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION is

(4 +5 )+5 = 4 + (5 + 5) = 4 + (10)

So, the given expression expresses the ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

4. 2(5+4)=10+8

Here, the operation between 2 and (5 + 4) is MULTIPLICATION

Hence, the given expression DO NOT expresses the ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.
