Math Problem Statement

Determine the property illustrated: -8 + 0 = -8

Solution

The equation shown is:

8+0=8-8 + 0 = -8

This demonstrates the Additive Identity property. The additive identity states that adding zero to any number leaves the number unchanged. In this case, adding 0 to 8-8 results in 8-8, which matches the definition of the additive identity property.

The correct answer is: Additive Identity.
