Question

Which statement illustrates the identity property of addition?

7 + 1 = 8

7 · 1 = 7


7 · 0 = 0


7 + 0 = 7

Answer 1

The answer is 7 + 0 = 7.

Answer 2

7 + 0 = 7

Explanation:

Identity property of addition states that when we get a same number after adding with another number, then this another number is called additive identity,

Also, the additive identity is always zero.

That is,

a + 0 = a

Where a ∈ R

Thus, the correct option which illustrates the identity property of addition is,

7 + 0 = 7
