Question

Which equation would demonstrate the identity property? A. (3 • 4) + (3 • 5) = 3(4 + 5) B. 3 • 5 = 5 • 3 C. 3 • 4 • 5 = (3• 4) • 5 D. 4 • 1 = 4

Answer 1

D. 4 • 1 = 4

Explanation:

In Mathematics, we have two kinds of Identity property

a) Identity property of Addition

This means that when you add a number to zero, it gives you that same number

Example: 6 + 0 = 6

b) Identity property of Multiplication,

This means that, when a number is multiplied by 1, it gives that same number.

Example: 8 × 1 = 8

Therefore, from the above question, the equation that demonstrates identity property is 4 • 1 = 4

Option D is the correct answe
