What effect does adding 0 to a real number have on the number?
Identity Property of Addition
Practice makes perfect
To identify the Property of Real Numbers being demonstrated by the given equation, we should first identify the operation being performed.
4x+0=4x
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. Therefore, the given equation demonstrates the Identity Property of Addition.
