Which choice shows (3+9) + 13 correctly rewritten using the associative property and then correctly simplified?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(3+9) + 13 could also be written as:
3 + 9 + 13 = 25, or
3 + (9 + 13) = 3 + 22 = 25, or
(3 + 9) + 13 = 12 + 13
We can group the addends in any way desired; this illustates the associative property.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property of addition:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
We now apply the associative property of addition to the expression in this problem.
(3 + 9) + 13 = 3 + (9 + 13) =
Now we follow the correct order of operations by adding the numbers inside the parentheses first.
= 3 + 22
= 25
