Question

Use the Multiplication Property of One to rewrite the statement.8+1=x1) = 0

Answer 1

We need to isolate on the equation

`8+(z*1)=0`

since any number multiplied by one is the same, then z times 1 is z, so we can write

`8+z=0`

Now, we can add -8 to both side and get

`8-8+z=-8`

since 8 - 8 is zero, we have

`z=-8`

then, z is equal to -8.
