Question

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers.

25 + 0 = 25
A The commutative postulate for multiplication
B The multiplication inverse
C The addition inverse postulate
D Commutative postulate for addition
E The distributive postulate
F Additive identity
G Multiplication by one

Answer 1

Additive Identity

Explanation:

Hello!

Adding 0 to any number will give you that number itself, as proven by adding 0 to 25, which gave us 25.

This is the identity property of addition, as the output would be identical to the sum of the non-zero terms.

We can also experiment with these:

• 21 + 4 + 0 = 21 + 4 = 25
• 7(3 + 0) = 7(3) = 21
