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,
\(a+b=b+a\)
The given sum: \(50+83+50\)
Using commutative property of addition, we have
Then, \((50+83)+50=(83+50)+50=83+50+50=83+100=183\)
Hence, commutative property of addition allows Hector to simplify the equation to 50+83+50 and find an equivalent sum.
