The expression is 6.2 + 4.2 + 4.3 + 5.8. \ \
\\
= 6.2 + 4.2 + 5.8 + 4.3 (Commutative Property: a + b = b + a)
\= 6.2 + (4.2 + 5.8) + 4.3 (Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c))
\= 6.2 + 10 + 4.3 (Add: 4.2 + 5.8 = 10) \ \
\= 6.2 + 4.3 + 10 (Commutative Property of Addition: a + b = b + a)
\= (6.2 + 4.3) + 10 (Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c))
\= 10.5 + 10 (Add: 6.2 + 4.3 = 10.5)
\= 20.5 (Add: 10.5 + 10 = 20.5)
\The value of the expression is 20.5.
