Given polynomials \( p(x), q(x) \), and \( r(x), p(x) \)
\[
+(q(x)+r(x))=(p(x)+q(x))+r(x)
\]
To verify the associative property of addition, begin by finding the sum of the polynomials:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
(3 x+4)+\left(\left(5 x^{2}-1\right)+(2 x+6)\right) \\
=\square x^{2}+\square x+\square
\end{array}
\]
