Q. Which equation shows the identity property of addition?Choices:(A) r=0+r(B) r=s+t+u(C) r+(s+t)=(r+s)+t(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.
Examine Answer Choices: Examine each answer choice to see which one represents the identity property of addition.(A) r=0+r(B) r=s+t+u(C) r+(s+t)=(r+s)+t(D) s+r=r+sWe are looking for an equation that shows a number plus zero equals the number itself.
Identify Correct Choice: Identify the correct answer choice. Choice (A) r=0+r clearly shows the identity property of addition, as it states that a number r plus zero equals the number r itself.
