2 and 8 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(2+8)+9

b) 3 + 5 + 4 + 7

3 and 7 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(3+7)+5+4

c) 4 + 2 + 16

4 and 16 add up to 20 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(4+16)+2

d) 31 + 4 + 9

31 and 9 add up to 40 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(31+9)+4
