Answer:

The additive identity postulate

Explanation:

6 + 0 = 6

Any number added with zero, we get the same number.

That is, a + 0 = a, where "a" is any real number.

Let's take a = 9, we get

9 + 0 = 9

Let's check out a few more examples:

-9 + 0 = -9

2/3 + 0 = 2/3

22 + 0 = 22

You can see any number added with 0, we get the same number.

Here 0 is additive identity, this is called additive identity postulate.

We are given 6 + 0 = 6 which illustrated by "The additive identity postulate."

Therefore, answer is "The additive identity postulate"
