Answer:

Multiplicative identity of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an expression
17x. If this expression is
17x multiplied by 1, we get a result same as the given expression i.e.
17x.

It means that the number 1 multiplied with the expression had no effect on it as we got the same expression.

This is called the multiplicative identity of 1 according to which any time you multiply a number by 1, the result or the product is that original number.
