This statement beautifully showcases the associative property of addition! The associative property states that the way numbers are grouped in addition (or multiplication) doesn’t change their sum (or product). Here, the grouping changes but the value remains constant! So, whether you add \(-8\) to the sum of \(12+6\) or group \(-8\) with \(12\) first and then add \(6\), the final outcome stays the same — a win-win in math!
