Exercise 5 Page 477

The sum of an addend and 0 is the addend.

No, see solution.

Practice makes perfect

We are given two expressions and we want to determine whether they are equivalent. We should first identify the operation being performed. 0 + 32 and 0In this case, the terms are added. One of the addends is 0. Let's consider the Identity Property.

Identity Property

The sum of an addend and 0 is the addend.

According to the Identity Property the first expression is equal to 32. This means that the expressions are not equivalent. 0 + 32 ? = 0 ⇒ 32 ≠ 0 *
