Answer: Commutative property

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the  commutative property of addition says that two numbers can be added in either order.

i.e. For any arbitrary number a and b,

[tex]a+b=b+a[/tex]

The given sum: [tex]50+83+50[/tex]

Using commutative property of addition, we have

Then, [tex](50+83)+50=(83+50)+50=83+50+50=83+100=183[/tex]

Hence, commutative property of addition allows Hector to simplify the equation to 50+83+50 and find an equivalent sum.
