Q. Which equation shows the identity property of addition?Choices:(A) j=g+h(B) (g+h)+j=g+(h+j)(C) 0+g=g(D) g+h=h+g
Understand Identity Property: Understand the identity property of addition. The identity property of addition states that any number plus zero is the number itself. The general form of this property is a+0=a.
Examine Answer Choices: Examine each answer choice to see which one represents the identity property of addition.(A) j=g+h does not show the identity property because it does not involve adding zero to a number.(B) (g+h)+j=g+(h+j) shows the associative property, not the identity property.(C) 0+g=g directly shows the identity property of addition, as adding zero to g gives us g.(D) g+h=h+g shows the commutative property of addition, not the identity property.
Select Correct Answer: Select the correct answer based on the identity property of addition.The correct answer is (C) 0+g=g because it is the only choice that demonstrates the identity property of addition.
