Match each item in Column A to an answer in Column B. What property is shown by the equation?

Column A:
1. \(-(-33 + 18) = 33 + (-18)\)
2. \(-10 + (-15) = -15 + (-10)\)
3. \(4 + (29 + 16) = 4 + (16 + 29)\)
4. \(-12 + (12 + 27) = (-12 + 12) + 27\)

Column B:
A. Commutative property
B. Associative property
C. Opposite of a sum property

I think it would look like this:
A --> opposite of sum B --> commutative C --> associative (I'm not quite sure of this one, but I'd rather pick associative than any other property) D --> associative

The properties matched to the equations are: 1. C, 2. A, 3. B, 4. B. The first equation demonstrates the Opposite of a Sum Property, the second shows the Commutative Property, and the third and fourth highlight the Associative Property. Understanding these properties helps in recognizing how addition works regardless of order and grouping.
