What effect does adding 0 to a number have on the number?
Additive Identity
Practice makes perfect
To identify the property shown by the given equation, we should first identify the operation being performed.
8x + 0 = 8x
In this case, the terms are being added, and one of the terms is 0. Because addition of 0 to a real number has no effect on the value of the number, 0 is known as the additive identity. This means that the given equation demonstrates the Additive Identity property.
