Jen would like to simplify the expression below:
8.9 + (-8.9 + 1.5)
She thinks that using the associative property (grouping) will make the expression
easier to simplify. How can this expression be written differently using the
associative property? Choose the correct expression below.
8.9 + (1.5 - 8.9)
I
(-8.9 + 1.5) + 8.9
(8.9 - 8.9) + 1.5
- 8.9 + (8.9 + 1.5)
