Solution
Solution Steps
To determine if the given expression \((7+8)+4 = (4+8)+7\) is true, we need to evaluate both sides of the equation and compare the results.
Step 1: Evaluate the Left Side
We start by evaluating the left side of the expression:
\[
(7 + 8) + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19
\]
Step 2: Evaluate the Right Side
Next, we evaluate the right side of the expression:
\[
(4 + 8) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19
\]
Step 3: Compare Both Sides
Now we compare the results from both sides:
\[
19 = 19
\]
Since both sides are equal, the expression holds true.
