Q. Which equation shows the identity property of addition?Choices:(A) r+(s+t)=(r+s)+t(B) r+0=r(C) t=r+s(D) s+r=r+s
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.
Match Given Choices: Match the given choices with the identity property of addition.We need to find an equation that matches the form a+0=a.(A) r+(s+t)=(r+s)+t - This is the associative property of addition.(B) r+0=r - This matches the identity property of addition.(C) t=r+s - This is a simple equation and does not show any property.(D) s+r=r+s - This is the commutative property of addition.
Select Correct Choice: Select the correct choice that represents the identity property of addition.From Step 2, we can see that choice (B) r+0=r is the correct representation of the identity property of addition.
